Tuxie, on a Froday, needing a stiff drink:

Tuxie, Crossed Paw, 12-12
Please go on. I'd love to hear more about how awful it would be to raise taxes on the top 2%, Mr. Brooks . . .

I'm still cackling over David Brooks' statement during The News Hour:

First, we have -- they have given a lot on revenue already. We can't continue to raise taxes again and again on the top two percent, because once you push people above where more than 50 or 60 percent of their income is going to tax, they start behaving in counterproductive ways.


D'awwwwwwww poor widdle rich peeples gonna start stamping their widdle feet? And like, *start*, *start behaving in counterproductive ways* like hoarding the wealth of the world while cutting jobs and making everyone else who isn't in their demographic do the work of 3 people for meager pay while they jet around to their multiple homes? Gosh, it would be awful if that happened . . . .

And I'm still elated that the President admitted he is a Jedi today. :-D

I'm going to try to post pics at least every other day on this, my birth month, if not every day. We'll see how it goes.

Inorite? I mean, imagine if the uber-rich spent their money trying to avoid tax instead of paying... then the people/state would have to raise the same amount of tax by increasing their hypothetical percentage because the money the people/state would have got in tax from the uber-rich has been given to accountants and lawyers instead.

I love how this President has such a great sense of humor.

Perhaps Bingo will come out and play this month? :-)

David Brooks is an idiot. Every time I make the mistake of reading one of his NYTimes columns I regret it. How he can say something like that with a straight face?? Tuxie does not look amused!

I am amused at the quote you use (I am categorically unwilling to waste my time reading the actual article). Can you imagine what kind of end-times scenario there would have to be for anyone in this country to be facing a tax rate of "50-60% of their income"? And yet, the wealthy are already behaving in counterproductive ways- if you, like me, consider it "counterproductive" to be using every single tax loophole to get out of the taxes they should owe.

Tiresome to think about. And yet, also important. I need a nap.

Tuxie was sweet to pose so nicely for you. :D

And like, *start*, *start behaving in counterproductive ways* like hoarding the wealth of the world while cutting jobs and making everyone else who isn't in their demographic do the work of 3 people for meager pay while they jet around to their multiple homes? Gosh, it would be awful if that happened . . . . I know. The thought of it just breaks my heart.

I caught him zoning out there. He's fine with the camera, as long as I'm not trying to put a hat or something on him. (-:

Whiney hork splats they are! *shakes head*

Awwwww. I have a huge soft spot for black and white kitties. All the ones I have known have great personalities. Including my own Jordan kitty.

David Brooks is a douchebag. :D
