The Beginning of Goodbye
... for many reasons...
a) The unemployment rate will continue to rise (thanks a lot, Mr. President)
b) If I do get a job, my continuously increasing taxes will yield me unable to afford the cost of living for the lifestyle I have become accustomed to.
OR
c) The world will end via a zombie apocalypse, global warming, or WWIII.
