What a revelation.  Wink  Yes, millionaires should not get a tax break for electric cars.  That should kill that foolish program that no one but a millionaire could afford. Government Motors would probably go under along with the unions who now co-own the company with Numb Nuts.  If the union owns a good portion of GM does that make them millionaires?  God we may have to make some exceptions to any tightening of the tax law.  Say we make unions exempt?  Ya, that ought to do it.  Roll Eyes
 
Positively do not let millionaires deduct gambling costs.  Except for the social security money spent in the casinos the millionaires are probably the biggest spenders.  Close them casinos or at least lay off most of the help.  The old buzzards only need slots which can be maintained with fewer employees.
 
This all happened with a lot of tax breaks and incentives that where put in to try to get American taxpayers to act in one manner or another.  UNINTENDED CONSEQUENSES.    We could do a lot of things and eventually drive this scum of the earth out of America.  Get out you are Un-American, you are a “Millionaire”.  Go someplace else; we don’t need no stinking millionaires.   Tongue

Or we could embrace another idea.  How about a flat tax? How about every American has some skin in the game?  Now that is an idea.   Who the hell thought that one up? Maybe it should matter to each and every American how much is wasted on this program or that.  I'll have to think about that tonight.   Wink

Mike, I'm headed south in two days.  It is going to get lonely for you around here.  Come on down and we can argue over a beer or two or three.  Sad  It looks like I'm the only guy you can stir up for an answer and when I get on the Island my priories change somewhat.  The problems up here seem a little distant and don't take on as much meaning.  Besides that are you really going to be happy in Florida?  I like it there but I’m not ready for that till my 80th birthday.  The traffic, the bitchin, and all those aged residents.  I know what you’re thinking but I still think I’m young, even if I’m not.  Come on down there are still more adventures ahead.  Cheesy
