They see the “need” to get a VAT tax passed before this fall while they still have a strangle hold on the population. Added to their list is, Amnesty, Crap & Tax, Fairness Doctrine, and several other power related issues. (Abolishing the Electoral College included.)
We can expect them to use the same tactics while they diffuse the public with the MSM’s help, during the Summer months.
In short, it's going to be a miserable Summer to say the least!
Even they would be suicidal to seek a tax increase this summer. The problem Dems have is that they need to build up a super majority and eliminate the opposition totally before the financial chickens come home to roost.
