The big thing on my mind remains Bill “Kittenkiller” Frist’s appalling decision to push for a vote on ending the estate tax. Yesterday’s rant of the day was about that.
But I really want to do more than rant. I want us to defeat this insane, irresponsible, inhuman proposal with a resounding NO!! vote. I want it stomped into the ground.
I want us to grab America by the lapels, look it right in the eye and say we need to say no to this thing. Work with me, America! Everybody who is not in the top two percent in income should be outraged–as well as the good guys and gals who are in the top two percent–and Senate offices should be flooded with letters. How dare they throw away an important source of revenue when so many people are in such desperate need right now!
And to be pushing this forward now–while so many of us “bleeding heart” liberal types are focussed on doing everything we can to help the hurricane survivors.
Wait a sec…that probably is why he decided now was the time. Push this thing forward fast–not giving us time to mount an effective response, especially since we’re so preoccupied at the moment.
Jerk. This should totally backfire on him. So, how do we make that happen?
