Then that CEO is an idiot.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925 Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan  RE: Obama, the Republican 5th Column?

I don't know about Obama being the Republicans' Fifth Column, but I am very disappointed in his capitulation to Repub demands for tax breaks for the wealthiest in this country. If the goal is to decrease the deficit, then why are they even talking about tax breaks for million/billionaires? And why were the Repubs allowed to toss in the reduction/elimination of the Inheritance Tax?
I hope there is no resolution on the estate tax... If there is no agreement, then on January 1st, the tax rate on estates worth over 1 million dollars will revert back to 55%. That probably won't happen, of course, but to allow estates like the one bequeathed to the family of George Steinbrenner ($1.1 bn) to transfer without a tax is ludicrous. In any case, America got screwed again. When is Obama going to get it through his head that the Repubs talk bipartisan, but actually view it as a sign of weakness to be exploited?

The defiicit commission just confirmed that the purported cost savings of ObamaCare are bogus. That it will cost more while providing less. Yeah! That's the ticket!
