There will be no bargain.  You can't bargain with people who won't even recognized that the man is the legal president or believe that taxes on the richest Americans is a form of racism.

So what happens come budget time?

A budget doesn't get passed.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That will be awkward.

If a budget does get passed and signed, at some point, that will likely be the result of negotiation I expect.

Not sure why you would think anyone claimed they were automatically a great thing - but that isn't what you said. You made it clear that raising them are automatically a bad thing.

I recall asking why it was a positive.

Actually, you agreed that there was no possible answer to the question that would satisfy you, which certainly suggests that you consider it automatically a negative, since there is no way it can be positive.

It's not as big a problem was you might think.

28% tax rate? That's monstrous. I pay a 19% flat rate on all my income (and my effective tax rate is even lower because of being able to deduct most electronics I buy and car costs as professionally-related).

Coming to think about it, my cleaning lady probably pays higher effective tax rate than I do.  :hmm:

No, they'll never play by the same rules as "the little people".

I thought the 28% only applies to capital gains and dividends but not income?  :unsure:

I think the top rate on earned income is something like 39%.
