The not so Loyal Opposition

Opposition is good. It makes everyone better. So Republicans are adopting the old, if you can’t beat them, join them mantra. It’s like the Michigan wolverines trading in their iconic maze and blue helmets for scarlet and gray ones and few buckeye stickers on the side just to get on the winning side.


Republicans are set to cave on taxes, the hand puppet Susan Rice as Sec State and abortion as a national issue. When immigration comes up they will cave on that as well.

On taxes, let’s face it. The republicans have a weak hand. The fact that Little Barry would enjoy seeing the across the board tax hikes take affect - except on his core constituency the 47% who pay no taxes to begin with – makes reaching a deal acceptable to Neanderthals like Lex - who happen to think the federal Government is the biggest evil in America today - nearly impossible. If no deal is reached Republicans will be blamed four square in the crap weasel lapdog MSM. It’s a tough spot.

But Republicans cave without firing a shot. The Demo-Dopes ran on raising taxes on millionaires. So Republicans should propose a tax on REAL millionaires. They should propose making up any short falls in revenue – and there will ALWAYS be a shortfall in tax revenues for the federal government – by proposing a tax on blue state residents who apparently want such a thing.

Republicans should spend a billion dollars putting this JFK clip over the air waves in every state. Every Republican senator and congressman should use their franking privileges to put JFK’s letter to the 1961 congress asking for tax cuts into the hands of as many Americans as possible. But hey, it’s just easier to fold like a big tent Republican and hit the cocktail circuit with their Demo-Dope “friends.”

The weird thing is that the people who will be hurt the most by higher taxes are the people like the Little Barry phone lady. The clueless dopes standing at the tough waiting for “free stuff” will suffer most as government revenues drop and services become more erratic.

Smart rich people will figure this out. The money will go underground. The rich will close their doors until conditions improve. If the cut off for higher taxes is $250,000, watch how many tax returns miraculously come in at $249,999.99. Watching congress try to tax the rich is like watching Bobby Fischer play 535 simultaneous chess matches against grade school champs. Fischer beats every one of them every single time. The grade schoolers all whine that Fischer must be cheating. He isn’t. He’s just much better at the game than they are.

Obama is discriminating against 2% of the population. With government power backing him, he will unfairly take more from this group than others. It is discriminatory. The flat tax does not discriminate. End deductions, go to flat tax. The rest of what the politicans say is BS. It is economic disrimination. The Griffin.
