Want to make more money? Vote for the Democrats.

I'm serious.

That is, across the board, Democrats enabling people to make more money, regardless of their income level - yes, even those in the top 5%.

I can hear the critics warming up the whaaaambulance to claim "higher taxes are coming, higher taxes are coming!" To you I say: yeah, on the richest folks, and corporations, whose tax rates were temporarily lowered by the previous administration. The fact that the current one is (hopefully) smart enough to allow that to sundown doesn't mean they're "raising taxes."

Besides, how many of you think something like a balanced budget is a good fucking idea? I sure as hell do. Last time we had one? Under Bill Clinton; not that chimp-faced, pro-business, anti-regulatory fuckup who followed him.

I am a big fan of balanced budgets.

I was actually musing over the feasability of laying a vertical line across the graph to delineate "average annual rate of inflation" for each party's administrations, but haven't had a chance to look up the data (assuming it's presented somewhere non-obscure).
