John McCain to Pinch Babysitters
In a daring move by the maverick, John McCain announced today that he would have babysitters receive 1099’s for their duties, and file their taxes like everyone else come April 2009. He said that that was yet another untapped monetary resource to help with the financial crunch.
“These are troubling financial times. But the fundamentals of the economy are strong, and by fundamentals, I mean babysitters.”
Young girls between the ages of 10 and 15 will now have to pay up in order to make up for all of the wasteful spending in Washington and Wall Street.
Becky, a 12-year old professional babysitter who makes $100 a night, about fifty nights a year, understands that the nation needs her money more than she does. “I understand that the poor and the rich in this country pay about the same in taxes thanks to loopholes and such, so I’m glad that I’ll be helping out the country almost as much as McCain himself. Also, I can’t wait for my $400,000 spa retreat I’m planning as soon as my company goes public. I can write that off as a business expense, right?”
These are sad, sad times.
