Raising revenue without raising taxes?...........from Rico

I've long maintained that the REAL pain for the average Joe-shmoe would start to be 'felt' right after the 2012 elections.
- Our kleptocrats don't want to do much of anything that will impede their chances to continue to feed at the taxpayer's public trough (members only, old sport).
- Some of them are 'triangulating' now that a 'new' back of sociopaths in Congress after 2012 can roll-back any 'deals' made today.

The sticky wicket is precisely this:
- Something like a trillion Benny Bucks are needed in increased revenue for our porkers to reach a 'deal' on the debt limit (hahahaha...I just said 'limit').

How to raise revenue without raising taxes?
- EASY! By 'phasing out' the individual tax deductions, you can generate revenue [read: fleece the sheeple] without raising taxes!

Now, we all understand that the Lobbyists from K-Street represent monied interests, and not 'we the sheeple' so....drumroll please....guess what is being looked at right now?
- Yup, individual tax deductions.


Some of us understand that just calling something a "fee" does not mean it's not really a tax. We also understand that eliminating tax deductions is the SAME THING as raising taxes.
- But there are many who just don't "get it." They voted for the current batch of criminals by a large majority, and in a few years will be unhappily surprised to feel their tax nipples being twisted by the tax-milkers. Poor cows!

Here is the 'hit list'...are YOU on it?
