The fact that he’s even discussing anything “for the rich” means he’s on the wrong side of this discussion. We’re not marxists. We don’t play the “us vs. them” and “one side can’t gain unless the other side loses” games.
We will “pay for it” by defunding as much of the $13.4 trillion in new spending Obama and the Democrat Congress created in the last 2 years as we need to.
That's the thing, and why Boehner is an idiot despite ORAG's analysis.
Republicans need to stop running with the Democrat's false premise of who "the rich" is. When Democrats talk about the rich, they are talking about high-income wage earners who have made it on their own. They are not talking about trust fund babies who inherited their wealth and can shield it from the government.
I wish Republicans would start defending the rich. There's nothing wrong with being rich in America.
