Beats the hell out of me.

Everyone in Washington seems to think the average American is a lazy slob that needs to get a third job.

However, raising taxes on the wealthy even a little is taboo. God forbid they'd have to sell that eighth home or 14th Mercedes.

That is supposedly the rationale for simply extending the Bush cuts instead of making them permanent.

We are just waiting for a more robust economy.
