So, one year to go before the next Congressional elections, and Republicans have pushed through yet another tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.

Democrats also cited a joint study by the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution that shows taxpayers with incomes greater than $1 million per year winning tax cuts of $42,000 under the bill while families with incomes of $50,000 a year would average a $46 tax cut.
“The Republican Party ... is sending all the millionaires on an all-expenses-paid vacation — for $41,000 a year,” said Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash. “The rest of America is being forced to choose between filling the gas tank or stocking the refrigerator.”

So, what do you suppose those lucky millionaires will do with their winnings?

• Hire a full-time domestic servant at a living wage with benefits, thus proving that trickle-down economics really do work.
• Hire two full-time illegal alien domestic servants, thus proving the "trickle" in trickle-down economics.
• Go to Disneyland! EuroDisney, that is!
• Give half to the RNC, and half to K-street, to ensure the continuing increase in the wealth of the 1%. It's a better investment than stocks!
• Buy their teenager a Hummer for extra safety while driving to and from raves.
• Make America a better place for all its citizens through wise investments in small businesses

The answer? Why, all of the above, of course, except that last one, which is merely a talking point. Oh, and the first one, too. As if!
