The sky is not falling. Quite frankly nothing is being done there is no movement at all. Congress gave up and walked away for the issues it faces. The Bush tax cuts will expire for all tax brackets. The Estate Tax will have a million dollar exemption and then be taxed at 55%. The only winners if they can be described as such, are the people who will be assisting; for a fee those who now need to rework their tax strategies.
SO we reap what we deserve, we hired them and they are ours for better or worse. Federal, state, county, district and city; we hired them and we got what we deserved. From the state of things looks like we should declare a do over.
I have a friend that states that he would be pleased if he received 40 cents of services for each dollar paid in taxes. Knowing that fraud and corruption is a given in government (Cook County Executive was arrested yesterday for fraud). What percentage are you happy with? Your vote only counts if you pay taxes.
