Raise taxes, play the numbers game, pretend you have a handle on the entire world and go play golf. What type of attitude would you like everyone to have? There is no results....ever. Just more nonsense. I have plenty of years dealing with the rubbish to justify my cynicism. It does not happen over night. It comes from disingenuous nonsense on Capital Hill and PA Ave. Oh boy, the people have spoken in the last election. Congress is full of Repubs now. They are going to show you. Just like the Contract with America. Still..nothing is done. Staying informed only grows tiresome. Believing that somehow taxes will be reduced is nothing but a pipe dream. Washington..."Read my lips. No new taxes." We will just raise the old ones.

As I get older, I'm realizing more and more that any real change in the political system is just a pipe dream. There's too much money and influence entrenched in Washington, and people will lie, cheat, scheme and spin in order to maintain their hold on power. It doesn't matter what side you're on, they're both as crooked as the other. Nothing's going to change it.

They play their silly marketing games, and people lap it up and regurgitate it back. It's all a marketing and PR spin game to them.
