Of all the tax proposals the White House has floated for next year, the one that frightens Democrats the most is cutting the individual tax on dividends to 20 percent or zero. Although objections are obscured with economic gobbledygook, the real worry is political. Some 85 million investors -- seniors, in particular -- will be ecstatic about relief from the double taxation of stockholder dividends. And they are likely to express their gratitude by voting Republican for years to come.

This clearly means it's time for the dems to unlease their secret weapon... LOL jason and his SUV spinning taxsaw.

We are in for some real weird speak.

It was fun watching Corzine and other Dems looking shell shocked on FOX last night.

They will LOSE a cloture vote on this if there is one. I hope they try it...
