This week’s ‘Alpha Jackass’ award

The Patriot Post

“We are fighting for principle—and for this nation’s future. We are not giving up. Passing an AMT bill that is not paid for is not a fait accompli.” —House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD)

Just to understand: The Alternative Minimum Tax is set to increase automatically next year thanks to Democrats in the 1960s. Now Hoyer is demanding that “wealthier” taxpayers fork over the money to make sure the government doesn’t lose this increase in tax revenue. Whose money is it?
