“i am unable to grasp how this makes much difference. who is going to refuse a $1,000,000 bonus just because under some tax trigger it will become "only" a net personal gain of $650,000? how would that "cap" or eliminate the bonuses?
oh my, look at that bright shiney tax provision. what? we don't get to have the bright shiney? i'm so outraged over that i don't even notice we're still pouring billions into corrupt corporations run by the same gluttons who are still operating in unfettered, deregulated economic environment.”

“sorry "we", the collective whole, are not better than this.
the human animal is essentially the lowest form of animal descended from apes, and "we" are the most destructive creature ever to inhabit this planet. and if God made us like this, he did a bang up job - maybe he was away on vacation and we were put together by the celestial janitor.
our only achievement are those select few who escape the standardized mediocrity and are exceptional. they are the deviations in the bell curve, but do not represent society. the great thinkers, artists, writers, and unique individuals are a minority subset.
such great potential to change the world for the better, and what a shame when the majority are cowardly and weak - but such is the human condition”
