Fade in on an Old, Balding White Man reading the paper at the breakfast table.<\/i><\/p>\n
OBWM: I don’t know. I’m really worried about the economy. Rising fuel prices, increasing costs of everything…<\/p>\n
Cut to his Younger Blond Wife, sipping tea<\/i><\/p>\n
YBW: I know. And the mortgage crisis, all these home foreclosures. It’s terrible.<\/p>\n
Cut to his Perky Teenage Daughter, eating cereal<\/i><\/p>\n
PTD: Don’t forget the rising cost of college.<\/p>\n
Return to OBWM, in a wider shot showing that he is alone at the table. A plasma tv on the wall shows YBW and PTD, having breakfast in the kitchens of two of his other houses.<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
OBWM: And if this Obama fellow gets elected, our taxes will go up by almost $5,000. <\/p>\n
PTD: That’s not going to help pay my tuition!<\/p>\n
YBW: We might have to sell one of our houses!<\/p>\n
OWBM: We’ll just have to tighten our belts, and find some way to muddle through.<\/p>\n
Alfred the Butler enters the frame, and refills OBWM’s coffee.<\/i><\/p>\n
OBWM: These are hard times, Alfred, hard times.<\/p>\n
Alfred: Actually, sir, under Obama’s tax plan, my taxes will be cut by over $500. That’s the change I<\/i> need.<\/p>\n
Exit Alfred, with OBWM scowling after him.<\/i><\/p>\n
OBWM: I’ve got an idea, honey. Maybe we can cut back on the budget for domestic servants…<\/p>\n
