Liberal Zombies Coming to Eat the Rich!!!

Here's the plot of every zombie movie.  Virus/apocalypse/rabid monkey results in hordes of mindless, shriveled corpses that cannot think and desire only to prey on the ones who survived.  Sound familiar?  Every zombie movie ever made should now be seen as an analogy for the tax and spend wing of the Democratic Party.  Irrational hordes of brainless people who seek only to feed on the rest of society.  And it's not just the wealthy.  If President Obama and his allies in the Democratic Party hadn't wanted to increase taxes on people below $450,000.00, the easily could have offset the 2% bump in the payroll tax with a corresponding 2% rate drop, but I don't hear anybody having argued for that.  Hell, they probably could have kept in the payroll tax "holiday" (I love how when you get to keep your own money it is somehow a holiday, keep in mind, these jackasses named that holiday Making Work Pay...seriously), it's not as if they've displayed any concern about the solvency of Social Security.  But it's not enough for Democrats that they got $41 in tax hikes for every $1 in spending cuts they won't ever put in place.  After all, if you ask the President, spending isn't even a problem, despite the explicit conclusion of his own debt commission.  So, it should be no surprise that earlier this week President Obama said that there would have to be additional taxes because we just can't cut our way to prosperity (after all, government is the primary source of prosperity, right?).
It didn't take long for the first shriveled corpse to chime in.  On CBS's "Face the Nation" House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D. CA) roundly rejected the notion that the debate on tax revenues (ugh, revenue is something you earn, not something you loot) was not over and that additional looting would be required in any further debt negotiations.  Hell, she couldn't even wait for the question to end before emphatically rejecting the notion she isn't going to feed on the rich.  The evil, evil rich.  What Pelosi is referring to is the elimination of deductions.  You remember those?  They're the little parts of the tax code where the government generously allows you to keep some of your money if you behave the way they want you to, like buy a house.  Personally, I would be all for that idea if it included a reduction in rates, but they already raised rates. She's on the lookout for those "unfair" deductions, i.e., the ones that don't go to her pet causes.  Like battery manufacturers that use recyclable casing materials that smell like peace and love.  Luckily, none of this matters, as we will all be dead soon, Democrats gnawing on what's left of our wallets.
