RantWoman has been completely overtaken by holiday spirit. RantWoman's heart is overflowing to such a generous extent that she has a gift she wants to share with the whole country, an opportunity for...SHARED SACRIFICE.
RantWoman is touched, touched by images of President Obama celebrating shared sacrifice among the brave men and women he met on his recent drop-in visit to Afghanistan. Well, RantWoman quaintly thinks no matter how many US troops are in residence it's better manners to have an invitation and to work an actual visit with the head of state into one's schedule, but hey it's the holidays.
RantWoman is further touched contemplating the 50% increase in the cost of her own monthly bus passes. RantWoman's heart is so thoroughly warmed by these two quite diverse opportunities to contribute to the common weal that she generously wants to share the holiday celebration with the whole country. RantWoman thinks everyone millionaires, billionaires, and ordinary folk should all have the opportunity to feel the same warm feelings RantWoman and the troops are feeling. RantWoman in fact thinks people deprived of the opportunity for shared sacrifice must be feeling neglected and disconnected. RantWoman wants to help about this problem.
WHAT, you ask, does RantWoman have in mind? RantWoman thinks a really simple way for the whole country to join together in a recession-era outpouring of civic gestures would be for everyone to...LET THE BUSH ERA TAX CUTS EXPIRE!
We cannot afford them. All they do is increase the deficit. The business people dithering about uncertainty would get the certainty they crave and Congress could get about getting all its other work done.
Why does RantWoman have such a strong feeling she is swimming upstream and in line for lumps of coal in her stocking for even suggesting....?
