Sure but, you could have gained weight. We are trying to accomplish something. I don't want you taxed more for your donuts.

No weight gain, just supported the local ecomony with the purchase of a cup of coffee. I'm glad that after YEARS of being taxed disproportionately, you're FINALLY trying to accomplish something. Now we just need to figure out what that "something" is.

Here's the Houston teabag crowd. Listen to the guy in the background yelling about Obama. Looked just like a Palin rally, just empty. This is from the Houston chronicle not youtube.

I love the "95% of Americans taxes are lower part". You really have to have your head buried deep somewhere to believe that.

Proof otherwise? No rumors, no what ifs, some real proof to the contrary.

New taxes on tobacco. The majority of smokers are poor. Nice tax cut there. I am sure alcohol will be next. Glad I don't smoke or drink, guess I got a tax cut.
