Larry David Can Hardly Hide His Enthusiasm for Tax Cut Deal

Larry David Excited to Eat More Blueberries After Tax Cut Deal

Larry David wants to buy President Barack Obama a drink after signing a deal to extend tax cuts for rich folks, because now he can take that expensive trip to Cabo and buy that flashy new flat screen he's had his eye on. While he may be pocketing a lot more money because of the tax cuts, David is only joking about his continued excessive wealth in a sarcastic New York Times Op-Ed.

"There is a God! It passed!" David exclaims in his piece. "To begin with, I was planning a trip to Cabo with my kids for Christmas vacation. We were going to fly coach, but now with the money I'm saving in taxes, I'm going to splurge and bump myself up to first class. First class! Somebody told me they serve warm nuts up there, and call you 'mister.' I might not get off the plane!"

The famed comedian and creator of 'Seinfeld' and 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' delved into a satirical rant about living life with the tax cuts, noting that its pointless for the rich to continue to live in excess for another two years.

"The only problem is if, God forbid, the tax cuts are repealed in two years, how will I ever go back to Special K and bananas?" David asks. "Well, I did quit smoking, so I'm sure if push came to shove I could summon up the willpower to get off granola and blueberries. Of course, I suppose with the money I managed to save from the 'Seinfeld' syndication, I probably could continue to eat granola with blueberries, but let's hope it doesn't come to that."

There's a shock: some (seemingly) reactionary right-wing racist missing the point of satire.

Folks he is not kidding. He happy that he gets to keep more of his ill-gotten gain, don't let him kid you for one minute, just because he is a bleeding heart liberal. He is all about himself and his money.

Too bad you think that a person's religion is something we would laugh about, but you were wrong . I understand not everyone who sends out Christmas Cards or says to people Merry Christmas or Peace on Earth, Goodwill Towards Men is not for everyone but rememer that, next time you criticize someones religion. To me it is not satire, it is hatred.

With all the money he's saving, he could give some of it away to needy families, therefore eliminating the middle man, i.e. the government.

That's the beauty of the government allowing us to spend OUR money how we see fit--we can do nice things with it and know where it went and actually use it EFFICIENTLY.

He would never part with his money, in his view that is the govt's
job.

your an idiot and an anti-semite... he was joking about the tax cuts and how he could finally afford things he could not of, which obvoiusly could of before. Just shows how dumb anti-semites are. :) Do something tard-nugget!

You are a darn fool if you think he is kidding. He is happy that he gets to keep more of his ill-gotten gain, don't let him kid you for one minute, just because he is a bleeding heart liberal. He is all about himself and his money

By all means Larry if you hate the tax cut so much than send the money to the Government. you should know better than anybody that 250,000 dollars in Southern NY does not make you rich. For some of us that make almost 250K and can barely pay the mortgage on a starter home we are releived. So send your extra money to the Government and watch what they do with it. Maybe with your extra money you can hire a few more people. I am one of your biggest fans as well which makes me want to puke right now

another liberal hypocrit acting like they care,,,if you REALLY care larry no one is stopping you from donating your wealth

moe said another right wing racist,,,?you tool for the left is just as uninformed as the liberals,,read your history racists were the slave owners ,,the southern democrats that fought a civil war to keep their slaves

By J.

Bob and BonBon - Oddly enough, the Southern Democrats of old ARE the new Republicans of today. If you actually knew anything about history as you claim, you would know that Lincoln's Republican Party were social progressive more like the Democratic Party of today and the republican party of today is, well, racist like the old Southern Democrats. The actual history kind of makes your argument look stupid. Lincoln would laugh at you stooges.

By Bonbon

Liberal hypocrites especially celebs put alot of their money in foreign accounts so they don't have to claim it, they are all filthy rich but want us slobs that make under 100,000 to pay for the poors healthcare, let them pay for it, losers!

Bob, they are too dumb to understand the Republicans were the first to let blacks into their party, the dems were the racist party, no one ever wants to check their facts though.

Hey Larry, it's your money; spend it however you want. By the way, you did not get a tax cut...the rates simply stayed the same

By mgarratt

Larry, you are a funny guy, but your article, satirical as it is, mocks the majority of those who will ultimately pay these higher taxes, small business owners. You stood right behind Obama, the man who has put us on a path to socialism, cheering him on, now put your money where your mouth is and use your extrreme wealth to help this country lower the defecit. I feel like you, Orka, Tina Meh, Smart Alec Baldweenie, Steven Stealberg, George Looney and Ron Coward, should shoulder extra responsibiolity for helping to elect someone who, has put this country on a path to debt, long term for our children. I am sure some of you posters will let me know how racist this is. Go ahead, you don't know me, I hate everyone anyways.

By scot

There you go again. Another republican acting like they belong to a club they do not quality for because they don't have enough money. All republicans who don't qualify as rich, are useless fodder for the real republicans who use Americans for their personal gain. Go ahead and spout off about tax cuts and all the other propaganda that does not benefit you one bit. Drink the kool aid repubs.

Great for Larry he is a multi millionaire..... but people making 300,00 per year with 100,00 in school loans, 2 kids, a mortgage, car payments are not rich and although in the top 1 % need the tax cut. If the cut off was say 1- 1.5 million a year it might make more sense
