If Republicans weren’t lead by incompetents, people would know this stuff.
the Democrats are “signing” a different tune?????????
And this is EXACTLY the reason that the Republicans need to let the tax cuts expire - to EDUCATE the voters, the INGRATES, as to who kept their tax rates down.
The Dems know that, and, in the end, they will agree to ANYTHING that the Republicans put forward - otherwise the mime that the Bush tax cuts were for the rich would be blown away.
The problem is that the Republicans likely have NO CLUE just how strong their hand is. Note that it is the Democrats, in a near-panic mode, screaming about all of the higher taxes next year - they know what’s coming and what it means to them as a party. They MUST prevent it, at all costs, and they likely will - with help from the Republicans bailing them out again.
There should have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER been a Bush tax cut. There should have been a REPEAL of the Clinton tax INCREASES of 1994. Now we would be arguing about RAISING taxes back to the clintoon level.
By following this stupid plan, we allow the idiots on the left to position things as though there is some ‘proper’ level for taxes, and we have ‘cut’ them from that level. If the Republicans had managed this properly, they could have tied the Clinton tax INCREASES like a tin can around the democraps tail.
And a lot of this took place while Bush was being advised by someone referred to as “the brain.”
Brain my a$$!!
The DemocRATS have been saying that the Bush tax cuts only benefited “the rich” for the past 10-years; so I don’t understand why they are suddenly so keen on preserving them.
(This isn’t the first time, either.)
Sometimes, doing nothing is a real cool move.
Rats settle for govt cheese when they could have liberty.
The really funny thing about the Bush tax cuts is that the “rich” were actually paying a smaller percentage of all taxes collected before they were passed - if they all remain in place except for increases to those making more than $400k per year, there will probably be little if any difference between the percentages of the total paid by those evil rich people before the cuts were first passed and after the adjustments.....
