Hatchet-faced charmer Mary Matalin was on CNBC last evening, talking about the fiscal cliff. She opined that it was wrong for President Obama to propose raising taxes on the top 2 percent of US taxpayers (roughly speaking, those declaring incomes in excess of $250,000 a year) because those are "the small business owners that we rely on to get the economy growing again".
Wow, who knew small business in the US was such a lucrative proposition? Those of us who imagined that the 2 percent were Wall Streeters and hedgies and senior executives of large corporations certainly stand corrected. Thanks for clearing that up, Mary.
