By the time the debt-ceiling issue comes up in two months, many more Americans will have adopted Conservative principles, particularly the importance of lowering taxes — after being mugged by the reality of the lower paychecks they will be receiving thanks to the Obama tax increases, both from his fiscal-cliff deal and ObamaCare.

Last year, workers went on strike at the Twinkie Company and in the Chicago school district because, even though their pay was increased, they were angry it wasn’t increased even more. Now, every worker in America will suffer at least a 2% reduction in their take-home pay when payroll taxes are increased by that amount.

Surely, American workers won’t be happy. If Pat Toomey and other Conservatives continue to speak out on the importance of cutting spending rather than raising taxes, they will win many hearts and minds across America for the Conservative cause.

'gimme a break. These are stage actors, they don't care about the Constitution. They just want the rubes to vote them back in and claim to pick up the tough fight! They'll show 'em next time!

TIMES UP
