End of an Era: Tax Cuts Losing Steam on Capitol Hill

[AuH2O]

You seem more moderate since taking a break from the forum.  Where is the old AuH2O?

Oh I'm here. But I have to be smart. Over the top statements can cause problems, unless you make a living off them (i.e. Coulter-- not that she's wrong necessarily). There are 2 ways to influence: involvement and money (and obviously they are not mutually exclusive). I'm going to be in DC and I'm going to be a securities lawyer. So the ingredients will be there.

Now, I'm not going to get my way just by being a Republican donor and function-attender. But maybe I can nudge things just a bit. No sense in limiting my influence by making myself vulnerable.

Oh please, you ridiculous megalomaniac, lighten up!  One anonymous attourney-worker does not influence anything.  Try to remember, in future, that you, are a nobody, and that the system itself is not amenable to such as you.  If it were would it have survived so perfectly?
