When will there be a panel on tax cuts?
It's funny, we've got a panel to evaluate social security, and 3/4 of the panel wants to gut it.

This is a program that has protected the elderly and the disabled, and let them be independent. This is what life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is all about.

Now take tax cuts, it costs us billions of dollars, and we were promised that these tax cuts would create jobs and prosperity. They haven't. Whoops!

But yet, it's never "the right time" to get rid of tax cuts.

But don't worry, the Republicans have a plan! Get rid of more safety nets and social programs to offset the price of tax cuts!

That's right, you should be willing to cut your own safety nets in case something goes wrong just so 2% of the population can live easier, and if you don't want to put your family and yourself at risk for them, then you are NOT an American, you are actually a Communist-Muslim who hates America and also wants to punch Baby Jesus in the face.

The 2% will create jobs when there are no more tax shelters and Swiss bank accounts! Maybe.

Sounds like we need a panel to evaluate the effectiveness of tax cuts for the wealthy. And it should be 1/2 unemployed people and the other half would be people who have to work the maximum amount of hours legally possible just to pay rent.

1. K & R. "Concern" over the deficit is completely dishonest
if you are unwilling to address the other half of the equation: revenues, also known as TAXES.
