WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Omnipotent Leader of the Known Universe, the Most Exalted President Barack Hussein Obama, claimed that people of the United States should be thanking him for basically bankrupting the country. With his usual BBC travelogue voice-over delivery, he intoned that the beleaguered American middle class really had it good with his policies and that each person in the country should be offering to clean The White House with their tongues as a show of gratitude for his benevolence.
In response, hundreds of thousands of supporters rallied around the country, bringing out their hand-painted signs, their children, and their copies of the Communist Manifesto, to cheer and rally around Obama’s agenda of taking over everything in the country.
The news media were dutifully on hand at more than half a dozen such events scattered across the fruited plain to report on the festive proceedings, noting the variety of poorly-spelled signs, mis-matched outfits, and other superficial twaddle that passes for good, solid news reporting these days.
“We love taxes,” said one rallier, dressed in his Che Guevara garb. “And internment camps. Those are great, too!”
Placards at several of the massive pro-socialist demonstrations were also kind of fun to read. Some of the more notable ones: “Tread on Me”, “Not Taxed Enough Already”, “I (Heart) Big Brother”, “Socialism: It’s Mostly Social, Not So Much ‘Ism’”, “Is It April 15th Yet?”, “Take My Stuff To Its Rightful Owners!”, “Please Tell Me What To Do”, and “Spend My Earnings Wisely”.
Next year’s rallies promise to be even larger, since the cost of living is expected to increase due to devaluation of the dollar, a possible Cap & Trade tax hike, and the implementation of a European-style VAT. American citizens, who love not going to the movies, taking vacations, or sending their kids to college, are expected to respond in kind, demonstrating an even greater outpouring of affection for President Obama’s inevitable tax hikes.
“Really, I don’t get why he hasn’t just raised taxes to 100% already,” said Harris Lund, a 9-11 Truther and former Air America talk show host. “I mean, if 50% or more feels this good, why not crank the pleasure-ometer up to the max?”
“Why should the rich have all the fun?” said Paul A. Smith, a tax accountant and former go-go dancer from Nevada. “I used to think that soaking them would help things along in this country, but now that I’ve had my taxes increased, I feel so alive! I want more, more, more of my income to go to noteworthy government projects!”
“There’s nothing like having your wages forcibly taken and given to a bunch of the President’s political cronies,” said Amanda Lipscombe, age 13, a prostitute and aerobics instructor from East Los Angeles, California. As she continued smoking her cigarette, she said “I wouldn’t know what to do with all that cash, anyway. I mean, what do I know about my own wants and needs that the government doesn’t? They’re smarter, too. They went to Harvard and stuff.”
Our reporters on the scenes noted there was a palpable tinge of excitement in the air, hoping that the U.S. federal government would inflict even higher taxes on everyone by this time next year. By next April 15, the rallies thanking the President should be even larger.
