Trust me...it’s already happening...we are looking at tax structuring options...off shore options...downsizing options...all because of Barack. Will the last productive American please shut the light out as you leave. That dream is over.
oh, stop being such a bitch. we are going to get through this just like we got through carter and clinton. Our time in the wilderness will make us stronger. We elected faux conservatives (like Bush) and now we are paying for it. Let them try to tax us and expand government programs. People will be pissed and they will fight back. We need to rebuild now, so we can kick butt in 2010 and 2012. Whinning will solve nothing.

I told a Dem friend today that this year, the first year ever, my husband’s company actually did well and now we will have to pay higher taxes..I kidded that our motto as a couple continues to be “Buy high, sell low” since our luck seems to go that way.
Her response? “Be happy that you had the opportunity to make 250,000 dollars”
I couldn’t believe it! First, I told her that 150,000 is the point at which the top 5% wage earners will be taxed. Secondly, my husband has gone back to school in the last few years, lost his job, started his own company and has traveled to Ireland for the past 10 months, away from family and friends because that was where his consulting job was.
Yet, he is supposed to be happy that all the time spent away from home made us less money in real terms.
But that’s the mentality out there...
I told her I guess I’m a selfish, unpatriotic citizen who had the audacity of hoping that the money I worked for was actually going to go in my savings account in case next year is not a good year.
