What is 2014 for???

An old friend reminded me that I haven't posted for a while. No worries. Just got a bit burned out from the election furor. Like everyone else, I thought that the election was over, and my guy as it turned out, won. By a pretty good margin. He ran on a few simple to understand ideas, one of which was to increase the tax rate on the richest Americans. That resonated with many Americans from both parties. In fact polls show that something like 65% of Americans think taxing the richest people at the Clinton era rate is a good idea. Remember the Clinton era? Higher taxes and growth, prosperity and a balanced budget?
So how come the Republicans in the House and Senate act like Romney won? How come they say things like "We are here to do the People's business" and then ignore the people? Even Fox news agrees that more revenue is needed to get back to fiscal safety. And cuts too. And even Fox news agrees that closing "loop holes" won't generate enough money to do the job.
I actually thought the election was over, but it is obviously not over. What remains is to kick out the remaining conservatives who insist on blocking the real will of the people. That is what 2014 is for.

    Great to read a new post. 2014 will be an interesting one since even Mayan gave up on continuing with human bullshit year after year. I don't know about the entire specie's doomsday, but if there isn't any change in the financial district, we will have a global financial doomsday coming up in the near future. I can just envisioning the Mayan astrologists sitting at the table smoking on a pipe, and debating how they can mess with future generations; and that's when a wise man came up with an idea to just abruptly end the calendar by saying "let's face it, we will be wiped out, they will illegalize this good grass that we enjoy so much, they will poison our water, cut down our trees, steal our gold, rape our woman... well since we can't change the human ignorance and their dangerous fascinations let's at least make them talk about us 2000 years from now... :)
