I't funny that you point this out because it's your side that claims all Republicans care about is teh ritch and the Dems are alwayse looking out for the little guy. You make that oh so witty comment about the ritch as though it's been the rights position that we care only for the wealthy, but then you flippantly ignore BSAMS pointing out that the people who truly bennifit from the tax cuts are us the working smoes. But I love how you the self-proclaimed limo liberal keep on looking out for the little guy.

Were all the above also intentional?
Thank you WBAM! We can always count on you to answer the questions that NOBODY ASKED!
My post, however sarcastic, was a statement of facts. The tax increase described was financial triage. It was supposed to slow the bleeding and send a message, to the bond markets especially, that they were serious about dealing with the deficits.
The Clinton Administration was very good for the wealthy. The DJIA broke 13,000 (Fri.'s close 10,419) on Clinton's watch. Who do you think owns the Big Uglies? Everyone got much richer when Clinton was President. Contrast that with the performance of the markets under Bush. After 5 years the DJIA is still 20% below it's Clinton peak. The burst of a bubble is transient event. This flat market is a long term trend.
PS the message to BSAMS was an insult. Read the instructions that came on your Form 1040EZ. You might, though I doubt it, get the joke. BSAMS is capable of defending himself.
