I’m really enjoying Emptywheel’s new site, ferinstance her take on “The $100 Billion TeaBagger Tax“:
Last week, when analysts were contemplating a debt downgrade, they put a price tag on it: $100 billion…
__
That $100 billion among 310 million Americans works out to be $322 for every man, woman, and child to pay for the TeaBagger’s little temper tantrum.
__
To put that in perspective, that’s more than the 2008 Bush tax rebate gave to taxpayers (rebate checks started at $300/person).
__
So the TeaBaggers are now taking away whatever benefit we got from Bush’s last tax cut.
