it turns out that Jerry Seinfeld and George Kastanza are talking about taxes again. As usual, George is feeling aggrieved. Apparently the problem is that George, who works for the New York Yankees and earns $45,000 a year, is upset with what he is hearing from the Democrats in Washington. Let us listen in on their conversation. Jerry asks, ``Okay, George, what is it now?'' George responds, ``Did you hear what they're doing to me now?'' Jerry says, ``What do you mean, they?'' George says, ``I don't know, they, the politicians in Washington.'' ``Well, what are they doing?'' ``They're out of their minds. They're trying to tell me that my income is not $45,000, but it's actually $75,000.'' Jerry says, ``I'm sorry, George, I don't follow.'' George says, ``Neither do I. All I know is that there are politicians who are saying that I'm now rich, that I shouldn't get a tax cut.'' Jerry says, ``George, I never thought I'd see the day, and I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about, but I think I agree with you.'' ``Well, it's about time.''
