re: #264 Soap_Man

So, the lead story on HuffPo has multiple links, one about how the Tea Party “leaders” hate the tax compromise, and another about how the House Dems hate it.

You know, there is a saying, if partisans on the left and the right hate your proposal, you know you’re on to something.

Good point. And the two sides hate it for the same reason: there was compromise involved.

This is all kind of silly. We’re arguing about 36% vs. 39% tax rates as if one were communism and the other anarchy. It’s absurd. We’re fiddling while Rome burns.
