Yes -Boehner has been had by both Obama and the Tea Party -
I don’t understand why none of the so-called Conservatives in the Senate are raising the alarm against extending the payroll tax cut -
Do they not understand that once again Obama is laughing at their naivity? Because it is clear to me -
AND as someone else posted, the higher-salaried folks benefit more than the lower salaried workers, so Obama is in effect giving tax cuts to the wealthy, which NONE of the Republicans in DC or candidates for POTUS have mentioned. NONE of them.
Why not use this as an attack on Obama? I guarantee they are now working on a way to claim that the Republicans passed a bill that will help to gut Social Security.
Is Boehner & Co braindead? I guess they are.
The same 2% the Dems want to see eliminated by a Payroll Tax Cut extension is the same 2% that President Bush was crucified for suggesting making available for private investing.
The Payroll Tax Cut extension gives more money to the rich than to the poor, so a Payroll Tax Cut extension is a Tax Cut for the Rich.
A Payroll Tax Cut extension does not help unemployed or retired folks, but a tax added to new mortgages and refis will hurt them.
The Dems are trying to destroy SS, give tax cuts to the rich, and throw unemployed and retired folks into the street, and not one Republican is calling them on it?
