Political Theater continues in Washington, D.C. as America is endangered by an enormous debt and continues to have horrendous unemployment. President Obama has presented a $447 billion American Jobs Act, which the President knows will never pass the House of Representatives. However, the President believes he can use the bully pulpit and bludgeon any Republican that votes against the bill.
Yes, this is the Political Theater - Part III. Even though two previous stimuli have completely failed, Part III is somehow different. What is different? A few Democratic Senators refused to vote for the President's revenue increases. The President purposed eliminating deductions of wealthy people (households making over $250 thousand), oil companies and other companies.
So, the next rendition of Political Theater was for Senator Reid to find an alternative - a 5 % surtax on people making over a million dollars. Patricia Murphy quotes a Democratic aide on Reid's ploy in the Daily Beast:
"Reid will modify the bill to either make it easier for some Republicans to vote for it, or make it a better messaging event against those Republicans who vote against it," the aide said. "Should be a lot of fun in any case."
Tragically, this is the contemptible morality of most of the actors in the D.C. Political Theater - Republican and Democrat. This is worse than Political Theater. It is Political Theater by Adolescents.
