All this Bud Light, concern about whether someone sits to pee, etc is just a distraction so we don't get together and collectively ask questions like:
  • How is it some people can deduct $1 billion on a $100,000 investment? (depletion exemption)
  • Why is it hedge funds managers can consider compensation a long-term capital gain taxed at about half of what we wage earners pay?
  • Why is it that billionaires mostly pay no tax, unless they are dumb enough to liquidate equity to buy Twitter?
  • Why not just let AIG Financial Products division go bankrupt and settle with Deutchesbank & Goldman Sachs?
Instead, we are upset about stuff that doesn't matter.
