Well this is what I know.
- Sen. Obama and most of the democrats called the Bush tax cuts, cuts for the rich. I find this to be humorous that now we are so worried about the middle class. Are these taxes just for the rich or are they for all Americans? If they are for all Americans, when will the democrats apologize for characterizing these tax cuts as just for the rich.
- All democrats listen very closely. You do not have a leg to stand on. You have been in power (Congress) since 2007 and have had a democratic President for almost 2 years. You could have passed new tax laws at any point during that time. You instead chose to focus on health care, cap and trade, don't ask don't tell, and other issues that you deemed more important. When democrats blame the lack of an extension on the tax cuts on Republicans it is a flat out lie. Either you are really bad with math (255-180) (58-40 +2 Independents who caucus with the Dems) Is enough to get any bill passed for example healthcare.
- I am all for lowering the deficit. That is why I have taken the position of letting all of the tax cuts expire. Dems are all about raising taxes and dems claim we need more revenue, let them all expire. Let's see what happens. Will this really help close the gap? or will dems find something else to spend this new found revenue on?
