Tax Cuts For The Wealthy

Question: How does it help republicans to delay or dilute potency of the job creation bill with Tax Cuts for the wealthy?

Answer: It is restructuring government programs to put more control in the federal government over the states and is NOT a job creation bill. Even the government’s captive accounting arm says only 1/4 goes to job creation and the debt will overall make our economy WORSE off.

Sometimes the solution IS to do nothing…..

Pelosi: What seems to be the problem?

You: I was exercising and now my hand hurts.

Pelosi: Did you break it?

You: I don’t know. How can I tell?

Dr. Paul: Can you move it still?

You: Yeah. But it hurts to move it.

Dr. Paul: (examines your hand) Is it a shooting pain?

You: No. It’s just really sore.

Dr. Paul: You just need some rest. You worked the muscles too hard. Try to not use it as much for awhile. These things take time to heal.

You: That’s it? Do nothing?

Reid: No. He’s not saying do nothing.

Dr. Paul: Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying.

Reid: Doing nothing would be catastrophic. His hand might fall off within a month or even a week if we do nothing.

Dr. Paul: The soreness was caused by too much exercise. Less exercise and strain on the muscles is the only way to solve the problem.

Reid: The soreness is good. It’s the only way to strengthen the muscles. What you need to do is play through the pain. Exercise even more!

You: But it hurts to exercise. I don’t want to exercise anymore. I want it to stop hurting.

Reid: You hear that Nancy? Refusal to exercise.

Pelosi: But there will be no muscle growth without continuing to exercise.

Dr. Paul: Muscle growth takes time. You don’t want to try and grow them too fast.

Reid: Steroids.

You and Dr. Paul: What?

Reid: What you need is steroids. We will pump you full of $700 Billion dollars worth or steroids.

Dr. Paul: That won’t solve the problem. It will only make it worse.

Pelosi: (sticks you in the ass with a needle and injects you) There is the first half.

You: Ouch. That hurt.

Pelosi: But is your hand better?

You: No. My hands not better. I just have another pain in my ass.

Dr. Paul: I told you.

Reid: It’s because you still need to exercise more.

You: No. I think I am going to listen to Dr. Paul on this one, and just take it easy for awhile.

Pelosi: That would waste perfectly good steroids.

You: I didn’t want the steroids!

Dr. Paul: The kid doesn’t need steroids. Rest and relaxing is the only cure. We need to do nothing to solve this problem.

We Pay for Tax Cuts for the Wealthy but not Relief for the Unemployed?
