AP POLL: How to pay for health overhaul? Tax the rich

[Malthus]

Deposit boxes are a consumer good, and hence we collect sales tax on that, so this should be encouraged.

We should tax Ed Anger's money bin.

Heh, I'd hate to see what a man-sized duck would look like after it took a 20' head first dive into a pile of coins. 

[DGuller]

He wouldn't look like a duck anymore, for one.

[Josephus]

Heh, I'd hate to see what a man-sized duck would look like after it took a 20' head first dive into a pile of coins. 

Do you ruin your son's night time stories this way?

Did you read my re-imagining of Thomas the Tank Engine? 

[Admiral Yi]

Interesting.  Did that come from the CBO?

Yup.  I had the number wrong.  It should be 125.

They've released financing details of the Senate version.  There were four things mentioned, unfortunately I can only remember two.  Decrease in Medicare payments and an increase in Medicare taxes for people $250K +.

And apparently the Senate version *decreases* the deficit by somthing like 132 billion over 10 years.

The Senate Bill can also cut through a tin can, and then still cut a tomato paper thin.

[MadImmortalMan]

I saw it was something like 800 billion in spending but only 370 billion in tax increases.

Louisiana gets $100 million in Medicare funds to buy Mary Landreau's vote.

I'm actually surprised more Senators didn't pretend to be "undecided" so they could get handouts for their peeps like she did.

I know, Louisiana purchase number two! It would be funny if this kind of thing weren't so expensive for taxpayers, and as far as I'm concerned, a corruption of the system. Dems or Repubs.

[Caliga]

Good one.

We really need to figure out where he keeps his #1 Dime too.

Yeah, it's not like money directed specifically at New Orleans has any useful purpose. What ever happened to personal responsibility?

Putting it in the freezer is pretty useful, IMO.
