Entitlements for the rich.

I am sick to death of the rich and their RW sychophants belly aching about their inevitable normalization in tax rates. They are calling the expiration of the Bush tax cats as a tax hike. IT'S NOT A TAX HIKE!! They have become so freaking accustomed to the lower rates, they think of these lower taxes as some sort of entitlement.

But wait....those very rich have paid into a system that they should be now reaping the benefits? Really, kinda like Medicare...something they want to dismantle....their entitlement is like that? Hardly. They have sucked the taxing system dry without ever contributing their fair share.

They are NOT entitled and they now get to pay.

Biden is breaking the news!!!

Remember "risk" you f*ckers? You keep claiming that you face it all the time.

Except when it comes to, you know, losing.
