because the latest Bush tax cut will only provide an average of $20 to Joe-six-packs like me, but $42,000 to those making $1 million plus.
Ya know something Schumer? F*ck you.
That's still 20 bucks more than I would've had if idiots like YOU were in charge, and my soul is not so black and shriveled that I can't be grateful for the small things I *do* get, even though I'd have been happier with more. For example:
My health club has a machine that rents movies for $1 a night. Now I'll be able to watch 20 more movies than I would've.
Or buy 3 more bags of my favorite Kenya AA coffee.
Or take my wife out to dinner at a Chinese buffet place, and still have enough change left over to buy her a bottle of that White Zinfandel wine she likes.
What a tiny, wretched, bastard of a man.
$20 isn't nothing to me, Mr. Schumer.
But you are.

It so pisses me off when they complain that the little guy only gets $xx money, but the big guys get $xxxxx money.
Well you know what the big guys pay more in so of course the big guy is going to get more money back.
What pisses me off even further, some of the figures they throw out there about families making to much money include me.
Know what pisses me off even more that than, the fact that I have worked my ass off and my husband works his ass off so we can get where we are. We have spent alot of money to educate ourselves to get to the positions where we are at and now some jackass in the goberment tells me I am rich and make to much money and I should be giving me hard earned money to some dumb smuck on welfare. Well they can kiss my large, white, well educated, rich ass.

And he's always been that way and likely always will. Why the people of NY keep electing such a jealous, self-serving bastard, I'll never know.

Well said, Harvey. I'm thinking that $20 will buy me plenty of enjoyment of a nice case of beer. Or just a case of Bud Light. Either way.

Hear Hear...or here here, I forget which one is correct, but either way, I gotta go with QW in thinking if rich people have more money, don't a bunch of them SPEND more too?? I know some of them are rich 'cause they save money, but wouldn't the ones who spend be helping our economy. In fact wouldn't the best way to get money from rich people(or from ALL people for that matter) would be to just apply a SALES tax to everything? Income tax doesn't get everybody, because not EVERYbody works...BUT everybody buys stuff.
I don't know...maybe that's too simple.
Oh well.
PS Dean Cain is HOT!!

Shimauma: When rich people save money, they invest it, which helps provide jobs, goods, and services--that's the theory, anyway.
Harvey: I always calculate these sums of money in terms of pizza. $10 is enough for one large pizza, $20 for two, and even a couple of bucks would buy a slice, enough for lunch for one.

Are you for real here? OK, let me put it simpler... the 42k comes out of a budget that's already IN deficit... So that's coming out of YOUR taxes (the tax burden is disproportionately held by those under 100k)
So no, you didn't make $20, you lost numerous little services that probably saved you more than $20.

Phil - Respectfully disagree about the tax burden:

Also, I'm not familiar with any instances of the gov't ever actually cutting a service.
