Key Issues

Why Did Everybody Let This Go?

IMHO, the most infuriating quote of the evening:

KERRY: Now, for the people earning more than $200,000 a year, you're going to see a rollback to the level we were at with Bill Clinton, when people made a lot of money.

And looking around here, at this group here, I suspect there are only three people here who are going to be affected: the President, me, and, Charlie, I'm sorry, you too. [Source: Sacbee]

That's what I heard, and, frankly I'm offended. I may be barely eking by in my middle-class world, but I do own a Subchapter S-Corp., which grosses over $200K a year...yet let it be known, friends that that - given taxes and overhead - by NO means, makes me wealthy. So I am in the same boat with 899,999 other small business owners whom our President is so desperately trying to protect.

As I said...infuriating. ...And big mistake. BIG. MISTAKE.

Update: I'm not alone, apparently. The guys on 640 WGST just slammed Kerry for the same quote.
