Maybe this is what it takes. Actually give the liberals what they want: much, MUCH higher taxes. Everyone that makes over $1mil a year, 90% tax. No loopholes. Make sure the alternative minimum tax is applied... LIBERALLY. We have all kinds of new IRS agents, get them in the rich folks' houses, making sure they are not too unfair in their lifestyles.
I bet we see a much different bribe/campaign contribution pattern in 2016.
But actually, I don't care anymore.... I am waiting to watch it all burn.

I told half my family to fuck off years ago and I haven't regretted it one bit.
Admittedly I do have to change my phone number whenever my mother gets her hands on it, but that's only every five years or so.

I am 41 years old, and have a lot of gray hair. Â I think it is because I always, ALWAYS swallow stress, and never let my real opinions of stupidity fly in the name of 'keeping the peace.' Â It feels so good to be done with that.
On a better note, I now appreciate my friends more and I am tolerating their bullshit better than I was. I am getting it, now. I can see that the real assholes are the ones who pretend to be nice to you.

No thanks. Bigger gov't, even to screw over the people that want it, is not something I'll ever support.

You can't stop it. Give them what they want so it will burn that much faster.

QUOTE And now it is time to decline the Thanksgiving Dinner invitation on Facebook. Â Sigh. I threw a "Maybe" at the invite. Â I am really trying hard to "get over it," because I don't loath EVERYONE in my family, and I don't want to hurt their feelings. Â But I really am done being nice and polite in the face of assholes, and I also don't want to ruin everyone elses holiday by showing up and then telling some of them to go fuck themselves if they say something stupid and insulting. So, trying to get to a point where I can keep my mouth shut. Â But I really think those days are done.
Ben Disraeli agrees.

You now have some choices...
1) Speak your mind freely and openly, even when it causes social static.
2) Just avoid the fuck out of everyone you can't stand.
3) Doing #1 when you can and #2 when you have to. If you are forced to put up with an otherwise insufferable fuckhead, remember that living well is the best revenge and people who maintain calmness are generally regarded as less insane than those who rant and rave.

You are aware you'll feel the burn well before any of the D.C. suits, right?

As long as I can watch it burn on TV.
I'm already fucked when Obamacare kicks in. Not poor enough to get it for free, and not rich enough that buying health insurance isn't going to hurt, a lot. A whole lot.
So fuck it.

I know I am having the enthusiasm for chaos as a "newly converted." I'll calm down once the euphoria fades.

If all you want is conflagration, chaos is all you need. Well, that and some time.
