Visiting The Thoughts Of Yet One More Person

Just keeps getting better

Yay!!! President Bush signed it into law. Now, not only the rich benefit, but also gives "breaks for such narrowly focused groups as motor sports racetrack owners, film producers." Cool. Now that motor sport race track I bought can make me some real money. Sorry teachers, you're not as important to this country as the racetrack owners. Shoulda produced films instead of thinking of helping the next generation of kids grow up and get jobs so they can also help support the rich.

And I love this tag line: "The measure also has $8 billion in tax breaks for disaster victims."

Think about it.

$700 Billion dollars free to 1000 of the most rich Americans. $8 Billion for the approx 12 million folks who were affected by a disaster this year. Of course, the disaster folks get to write it off. The Rich folks get direct grants. Each rich person gets a full grant of (where's that calculator?) $700,000,000. Each person affected by a disaster can write off $1,500. So what if they lost their home and their job, their small business, their school, their memories? They can write off $1500 off their taxes this year, while 1000 of their favorite Americans can place $700,000,000 more dollars in their off-shore accounts. Oops, I forgot, they each owe Bush a 10% finders fee, so they'll only net $693,000,00 each. Poor folks, I feel so sorry for them.
