Leave it to Larry David to make tax policy hilarious. Yes, the star of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and co-creator of “Seinfeld,” who’s rumored to worth $800M, has weighed in on the debate surrounding the extension of tax breaks for America’s richest citizens with an appropriately sarcastic (and exclamation point filled) opinion piece in the NY Times. Highlights include: “After years of coveting them, I’ll finally be able to afford blueberries. Did you know they have a lot of antioxidants, which prevent cancer? Cancer! This tax cut just might save my life. Who said Republicans don’t support health care?”

Here of some of our favorite Larry David-isms: “THERE is a God! It passed! The Bush tax cuts have been extended two years for the upper bracketeers, of which I am a proud member, thank you very much. I’m the last person in the world I’d want to be beside, but I am beside myself! This is a life changer, I tell you. A life changer!”

“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!”

“Life was good, and now it’s even better. Thank you, Republicans. And a special thank you to President Obama and the Democrats. I didn’t know you cared.”
