 And if we're going to have divided government -- which I think I prefer -- I would rather have a GOP legislature to pass relative few laws, and a Dem president to enforce them vigorously.

 That's probably right.  But the Shrub has been very good for my personal pocket-book, despite not fixing that dratted AMT!  I suppose that I am one of the privileged "rich" -- at least until I can convince someone to hire me to fight evil.
I'll tell you, I don't so much mind the extra 2% the AMT stacked onto my tax bill as the hours I spent figuring it out.  [BTW -- this is the first year it hit me, and our family engages in none of the mandatory triggering activities (except for a home equity line).  A real-life example of the stuff you read about in the paper.]
