I just wanted to drop you a little note before Christmas the holidays as you contemplate the reality of just how fucked up you look right now while threatening to raise taxes on 160 million regular Americans in exchange for saving about 400,000 rich bastards from paying an extra 3% in taxes.
Look, I know that Norquist guy is one scary son of a bitch. And I know you think the rich fuckers are really powerful. But they're not. I want to help you understand something that I, as a Democrat, have (sadly) understood for far too long.
Those 400,000 rich fuckers? What are they going to do if you vote to raise their taxes? What? Contribute to Barack Obama? Vote for Barack Obama? Support the Democratic Party?
I mean, come on, guys. You ought to be smarter than this. It's 400,000 people. You've seen the polls, haven't you? Your OWN dumbass voters want the rich taxed. Turn OFF the Fox News and read a fucking newspaper would ya? Not only that, but Grover (let's quit calling him Mr. Norquist. It's just not necessary) is going to be fighting an uphill battle to get someone to run against you from the right. Again, I'm not sure you know this, being that you get all your "news" from Hannity, but the Tea Party? Like, super low assed approval ratings EVEN AMONG SELF DESCRIBED TEA PARTIERS. I'm sayin, that's fucked up.
So look, think of this this way. The beauty of a two party system is that if you fuck over part of your "base" they really have no alternatives. See? You'd know this already if you were a Democrat. But maybe now, it's time you figured it out.
The 400,000 richies? Fuck them! What're they gonna do?
See? Now. Go vote for the damned tax cut extension. And quit your hand-wringing and pussy-footing about the only reasonable way to pay for it - taxing people with earnings over a million dollars. Just fucking do it. Stop being scared-y cats. Youhave NOTHING TO LOSE.
Oh. And have a Happy Holiday Merry Christmas!
Best
