Nancy Pelosi: Math is hard

Nancy Pelosi thinks increasing taxes on people making over $250 thousand translates into a tax cut for “100 percent of the American people. It’s just that over $250,000, you don’t get the pie sweetened for you.”

At least, I think that's what she's saying. Here, you tell me:

“The fact is we’ve been very clear. President Obama has said it in his campaign and since then and in this campaign as well. The Democrats want to be — have fairness in our tax code; that we want to go forward with giving — having the tax cuts for those making over $250,000, a couple making over $250,000, to have those tax cuts expire,” said Pelosi on Thursday at the Capitol.

“What that is is a tax cut for 100 percent of the American people. It’s just that over $250,000, you don’t get the pie sweetened for you. And with that, to say when we go down that path and inject some more certainty into our economy and our fiscal soundness, we then go to the table, put everything on the table and talk about tax fairness, tax simplification. You cannot do it dribs and drabs. You have to do it comprehensively.”

Demented much, Nancy? Or did your larynx just come uncoupled from your...brain, to use a figure of speech?

Open pit mining for stupid.
