The intertoobz have exploded over the unfortunate Dr Henderson's bemoaning of the impending Bush tax increases, and the hardship of getting by in todays society for two income families
We watch in awe as netizens arise to dissect the issue, and munch popcorn as the show goes on:
Todd Henderson's original tirade
in which he shows some misunderstanding of what constitutes discretionary spending, financial planning and marginal tax rates.
He must have known for several years that Bush's tax increase was coming in 2011. Shouldn't live on the edge like that...
(Hm. He may have taken it down, or go slashdotted.
No matter: here is the google cache)
Michael O'Hare at The Reality Based Community starts picking at details
- most unfair, it is clearly the principle of the thing that matters
In which Mr deLing responds to someone who might be Prof. Henderson
- Brad is just way too nice.
Mike, the Biologist, He is Mad
- do click through to Scalzi's classic on poverty
Henderson rebutts deeLing, and keeps digging
- the netizens of the intertoobz continue to provide constructive feedback...
The comments are worth browsing for entertainment value in all of the above.
You Did What?!
- ouch, I can almost imagine the scene... hope that works out ok for them.
When losing, it it standard fare to delete everything and pretend it didn't happen, all the while whining about how oppressed you are. I wonder how much of the "untold damages" to him is the fact that people know he is a clueless, selfish twit.
