This Week’s Cartoon: “Why We Still Need the Bush Tax Cuts”
If there was ever any indication that the Republican party does not represent a political philosophy, but sheer self-interest of the moneyed class, it is their insistence on keeping the Bush tax cuts at the same time that they howl about deficits. They tried to shut down unemployment benefits for desperate workers, and filibustered a bill to help small businesses. They speak plaintively about “burdening our children.” But hey, if you’re still makin’ mad Benjamins, nothing compares 2 U. Have some more!
The art in the second panel was inspired by an illustration I did many years ago. You can see the original here.
