Because nothing is that simple in Washington. To do anything with the
original tax cut legislation they have to pass a new bill and to get
that done they have to make 217 congressmen and 60 senators happy.
These days it seems to take at least 2000 pages of unintelligible
language that nobody reads, before the vote on, for that.
Do you have any idea how many special interests it takes to elect 277
people to congress? The answer is in the tax code. That is why it is
the size of a dozen big city phone books.
Well then, I say let 'em all go fallow. It was fairer the way it was
prior to Bush's tax cuts for his "base."
