As a fat cat, I like McCain’s tax plan

As my close friends know, I’m a fabulously wealthy guy who resides in a modest apartment just to learn more about how the other half lives.
And as a man of mucho moolah, I’m pleased to see this INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS of John McCain’s tax plan, which seems aimed at making folks like me even more comfortable.

Pat-Congratulations-that must put you in the category of taxpayers who are in the top 5% and therefore are paying 90+% of the taxes paid in this country which would explain why you would get more money from a tax cut since it is difficult to get a tax cut when you pay little or no taxes. (Yes, I am typing slowly because I know these are difficult concepts for liberals. Not you, of course).
Since you are so well off you are no doubt writing a check to the US Treasury to assist in eliminating the deficit.You can do that as I am sure you know. I often wonder why rich liberals like yourself don’t do that more often.

Careful Mike, this is where Pat pulls out his trusty Paul Krugman charts explaining why income redistribution is good for our economy! A bunch of marxists….had to get that out of my system…feels better now. Yep…Supply Side Econ is EVIL isn’t it Pat.

Kaus-sometime I’ll really ruin his day by explaining Hauser’s Law to him.

Wow…Hauser’s law is a brilliant piece…almost as good as busting Pat on going to Wal-Mart. However, I notice that there is no evidence for what would happen if we lower tax rates to single digits in the chart…would the GDP actually rise above 19.5 percent? My gut says of course!
