Re: "So if the Pelosi - Obama Administration wants to enact legislation to make everyone in your demographic pay an extra $5,000 in taxes per year after 2/3 of the Senators vote for an amendment blocking it you would be ok with it." What the Hell are you talking about?????????? I NEVER made ANY COMMENT about any specific policy (or proposed law, or proposed tax change, or anything like that) at ALL. All I did was note ONE TRUE FACT (since the post I replied to was talking about a legislative tactic called "budget reconciliation" (which is a way of introducing proposed legislation that get's around the normal difficulty of over coming filibusters in the US Senate). I pointed out that President Bush pushed his tax changes through Congress in 2001 by using the exact same legislative tactic that people are talking about now, "budget reconciliation".
