Senate Tax Bill - win, lose, or draw?

I call it a draw. We will not be taxing the rich (small business owners) to give to the poor (welfare, food stamps, education, Medicaid, etc.). On the other hand, the bill is replete with Christmas ornaments galore (real pretty, that), and Senate Republicans are OK with that, telling me that they have not changed their big-spending ways that sunk Bush 43.
On the good side, the following issues are dead:
**amnesty
**cap and trade energy tax
**gays in the military
**card check
So, let us call it a draw. You win some, you lose some, but the outlook is bleak, at least in the Senate. We shall see what happens when the 112th Congress is seated, but I am not hopeful.
