I am rooting for the Fiscal Cliff to happen.

Everybody's taxes will go up. Everybody beginning with an AGI of $50K. Massive tax revenue will be raised. Everybody will pay "their fair share." Liberals ought to be happy. The taxation will be progressive so the billionaires like Soros and Buffet will pay the most... Or would they? Right now, they pay very little income taxes. Only capital gains. Raise the capital gains rate to 38% instead of 15%. Oh what the heck, raise the top rate to 95%. More revenues for the government.

Spending will be massively slashed. The retirement age will be raised. Medicare and SS recipients will take haircuts. It'll be a shared sacrifice. No more wasteful spending. unemployment benefits will be for four weeks. No job after that? Tough.

There will be more revenues and less spending. There will be a balanced budget. No more deficit spending. Now, we can talk about actually reducing principal on debt.

The economy may fall into a sinkhole, but that's what Quantitative Easing 3 is all about. Besides, Obama can pull his economic magic. And we'll just let China take over Japan and let Egypt and Syria create a new unified Middle East union. We'll fight no more wars. We'll provide no more foreign aid. Provides even more savings.

We'll outlaw US businesses moving jobs overseas and we'll unionize all jobs, with the government setting wages and prices. We'll centrally plan healthcare and education. We'll release everyone from jail, legalize all drugs and criminalize all guns. America would be so much of a better place.

Oooh, snarky, over the top hyperbolic sarcasm! Let me try:

****************

We should be patriotic to American corporations with brand loyalty (even when inferior to foreign products) while they continue the unpatriotic practice of exporting jobs to countries so they can abuse foreigners and increase their profits in doing so and then gripe when Americans who no longer have a job can't afford their overpriced services at home, after all Main Street can always be plundered yet again to pay Wall Street billions of dollars in bailouts when their bubble bursts again...and again....and again.

And let's not forget paying the military industrial complex huge amounts of taxpayer money in policing the world for the rich & wealthy, and then complaining the world hates us for our freedoms despite that they don't seem to hate places like Canada (who are actually freer in most ways than Americans) who don't try to rule the world or bomb schools and funerals.

We should also cancel out welfare for single mothers and cancel abortion even in cases of rape (which, if, uh, "legitimate," won't result in pregnancy anyway), fire teachers, and enjoy the population explosion in starved, desperate, uneducated kids, many the products of (illegitimate?) rape (some of it incestuous), and who will surely be overjoyed to pay welfare to the rich, especially the wealthy idiots who do stupid things like build beach homes where they're likely to be wiped out by hurricanes (as such hit every year or so) but the taxpayers keep replacing their wealthy home while leaving those who only had a small home but better sense to rot should they get wiped out, too.

Finally, we should destroy the lives of teens who try some pot and turn them into hardened criminals and also do all we can to make sure men carry guns wherever they go but never, ever hold hands or look at each other with love.

Then America will surely be a better place.

**************

Yeah, that WAS kind of fun in an immature way. I kinda have my doubts about it getting my point across effectively, however. But I'm sure someone in the choir will give me a thumbs up anyway.

Very good, Pixie Jane.

Lets not forget to save the whales and spotted owls. Just kill the babies.

Enshrine the trees. Enslave the lumberjack families.

"...complaining the world hates us for our freedoms..."

Nicely done and much appreciated, Pixie. The above quote is my personal fav. Never ceases to amuse me. Oh, the hubris!

Ok, I'll play one more round.

And remember that the troops who are fighting deserve our respect as long as they don't reveal torture and massacres of civilians on our side, but the veterans are nothing but freeloading moochers sucking the government teat dry.

Promote only abstinence for sex before marriage, but NOT when it comes to guns, alcohol, and tobacco.

Oh, and be sure to insult teachers and never miss an opportunity to say how incompetent (or even evil) they are, destroy their jobs whenever possible and then insist they have a gun and be trained in its use. Nothing bad could possibly come of that combination.

And keep talking about how bad drugs are while being hooked on prescription meds, and what ***** women are for wanting birth control while taking Viagra, and push how sacred marriage is while admiring Newt for leaving his wife for another woman as she lay in the hospital recovering from cancer treatments. Indeed, passionately preaching values & morality while showing a total lack of personal integrity should always be key to forging a successful career as a highly-respected conservative spokesman.

And BONUS: worry more about killing gays (like Exodus International and others supported by Chick-Fil-A) in Africa than baby rapers, about stopping condoms there despite the problem with too many children and too much AIDS, and step in to prevent condoms and gays instead of helping Doctors Without Borders or stopping famine or preventing men giving little boys guns to help in the genocide and mass rape of other targets, such is conservative Christian love!

And speaking of gay marriage, we should live in a Democracy, not a Republic, where the majority can vote away a minority's right to equality.

And keep excommunicating and focusing the condemnation on preteens who have (with their family's help) an abortion, but not their rapists! Also be sure to maximize the damage she can endure via rape by preventing her from having a HPV vaccine. How can anyone have a problem with this standard in the first place? It's more conservative Christian love!

I could go on, but I'm getting bored! Maybe I could play one more round...
