Idiotic Remarks...Shame On You Nevada Sen. Harry Reid

THINK, before we SPEAK..... such a sad and idiotic way of thinking to even compare, "LOSS". ....

Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter ripped Majority Leader Harry Reid for suggesting the damage from Hurricane Katrina was "nothing" compared with the damage from Superstorm Sandy. Reid, D-Nev., made the comments last week when Congress was taking up a $9 billion disaster-relief bill for the East Coast, which is still reeling from Sandy. 

“The people of New Orleans and that area, they were hurt, but nothing in comparison to what happened to the people in New York and New Jersey,” Reid said. 

(Oh  My Gosh.... WAIT....)

Reid apologized Monday, after Vitter's criticism.

"I simply misspoke," he said in a written statement. "I am proud to have been an advocate for disaster victims in the face of Republican foot-dragging, from Hurricane Katrina to Hurricane Sandy, from fires in the west to tornadoes in the Midwest. I have worked hard ... to ensure that the people of the Gulf Coast have the resources they need to fully recover. And I will continue to advocate on their behalf until the region is fully recovered."

White Collar Complaining? Fiscal Cliff Deal ...

“Fiscal cliff” is the popular shorthand term used to describe the conundrum that the U.S. government faced at the end of 2012.  The deal extended lower tax rates for most taxpayers set during the George W. Bush administration that were set to expire on January 1, but let rates rise on the top incomes. The deal also gives U.S. taxpayers greater certainty regarding the alternative minimum tax, and a number of popular tax breaks and the beginning of taxes related to President Obama’s health care law and extend emergency unemployment benefits.

Basically,  everyone is paying more taxes, bottom line....So my view on our overall economic troubles and everyday household family struggles, would you rather walk in the platform shoes of the NOT so, "RICH", in finances, poor or simply struggling?  I certainly would rather be in the position to PAY more taxes, than have to worry about  HOW  I am going to PAY the taxes and maintain a a structured blue collar household .... 

Agreed or not agreed, Change, is good!
