It's A What?
Sometimes when I get to talking politics at work, I wish I would have left it alone. But sometimes, like today, it has its rewards.
I was talking with Stephen about president-elect Obama's tax increase on the wealthy (which, for these purposes anyway, I am not). Stephen's argument was that it is not a tax increase, since Obama is only restoring the top rates to where they were before president Bush's tax cuts took effect. Calling it a tax increase? That's your right-wing propaganda, there.
I asked, "So if my taxes are more next year than they were this year, that's not a tax increase?" He said, "No - It's a tax decrease revocation!
When my laughter slowed to where I could speak again, I said "There's your left-wing propaganda right there." Even he had to laugh at himself then.
I love the smell of victory in the morning. It smells like.... Victory!

That's odd, usually dangerous topics to comment on make commenting irresistible for you.
Haha. Fair enough. I think I've just had way too much of the incessant fighting among evangelicals about politics. I'm for having a little peace in this area for now.
