can my colleagues imagine a conversation between George Kastanza and Jerry Seinfeld about tax cuts? The level of absurdity would compare to what I am hearing on the House floor today about trying to give a tax cut to those who do not pay any taxes. Now, everyone familiar with Seinfeld knows that George can have a rather warped view of reality at times and Jerry likes nothing better than to point out his distorted views. Can you just imagine out-of-work George, before he got hired by the Yankees, saying how he feels cheated because he is not getting a tax cut? Then Jerry would ask, ``How could that be?'' He would ask, ``How much taxes do you currently pay?'' And George would say, ``Zero.'' And Jerry would say, ``In other words, you pay no taxes but you want a tax cut.'' And George would say, ``Exactly.'' And that is when Jerry would say, ``Oh, boy.'' And there we have it: Liberal Democrats, meet Jerry Seinfeld.
