We were served a bit of pork in the fiscal cliff deal and I can't stomach it.
Well, that's not all true. I like some of it! [The following are taken from a FOX News report. Don't judge me.]
I like the $59 million tax credit for algae growers to develop biofuel out of that abudant energy source.
I like the $7 million for electric motorcycle developers (but keep in mind, in my world, I would just buy an electric motorcycle! I wouldn't make someone else pay for what I want!).
I know a lot of people who will ADORE the $78 million tax break for a racetrack for NASCAR. While I am not one of them, oh well.
In the wake of Sandy Hook, though, I especially have indigestion when it comes to the special expensing rule allowing and extra $222 million for Hollywood.
Why? First, because these leaders proclaim to want to redistribute wealth with their power. Uh, don't know if you have noticed, but Hollywood already has quite a bit of wealth.
So, first because they are being hypocritical according to their own tenets.
Secondly, because I do believe the things on TV are influencing little brains that turn into big brains, and I'd rather not finance that with my family's tax money. I pay Netflix every month. And even that plan varies by our home budget allowance each month. I don't want to pay taxes for the films I choose not to watch! Come on!!
But since I sit in my home, and Congress sits in, well, CONGRESS, I guess, sure, take more of my family's money for your special projects. I guess that is how it works.
The hard truth is that is THE way Congress can get things passed. Just do your own research on how Republicans voted in favor of passing the Democrats' health care bill. One would ask how Republicans voted for something so obviously big government. The answer is pork, and it will shock you.
So, cheers! Pork's for dinner tonight, somewhere. And tomorrow night, and the next night, and the next... While my family is frugally eating mac 'n cheese, some will be dining on their choice of meat. Enjoy!
