Frank Rich, that is. Where would we be without him? I'm sick and tired of the lame excuse that we can't unseat the lobbyists who run this country. We, the people, must take matters into our own hands and it's very apparent that it will take a revolution to do this. Wake up! The party system is terminally flawed. We can't depend on it. We have to make a move. Sink or swim, baby.
What really pissed me off this week wasn't a national issue but one that is a total embarrassment to New York State. Legislation was passed to add a tax to the self-employed. The very people who don't depend on the system, who pay double social security, who don't receive unemployment, who rely on their entrepreneurial spirit to survive, are now being asked to pay their accountants twice to file quarterly tax (separate from their other quarterly state tax), retroactive to March 1 of this year and to pay some dubious tax that, frankly (and I'm not dissing ya' Frank) is ludicrous! Have we lost our groovy minds?
