Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami Drew Hammill/202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 12/07/2010 Pelosi Statement on President Obama’s Tax Proposal

Washington, D.C. — Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today on President Obama’s tax proposal:

“The tax proposal announced by the President clearly presents the differences between Democrats and Republicans. Any provision must be judged by two criteria: does it create jobs to grow our economy and does it add to the deficit?

“The Democratic provisions will create jobs and help 155 million workers through tax cuts for the middle class, helping working families who are struggling and growing the economy.

“The Republican demands would provide tax cuts to the millionaires and billionaires, fail to create jobs and increase the deficit. And to add insult to injury, the Republican estate tax proposal would help only 39,000 of America’s richest families, while adding about $25 billion more to the deficit.

“Republicans have held the middle class hostage for provisions that benefit only the wealthiest 3 percent, do not create jobs, and add tens of billions of dollars to the deficit.

“We will continue discussions with the President and our Caucus in the days ahead. Democratic priorities remain clear: to provide a tax cut for working families, to promote policies that produce jobs and economic growth, and to assist millions of our fellow Americans who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own.”

Wow, Nancy .. if only you'd applied that standard to Porkulus 1, Porkulus 2, 0bamaCare, Cap and Tax, etc, etc...

"BOTOX... need BOTOX..."

Oh yeah, the lying beeotch has been losing sleep over the deficit. Thanks SubDriver.

Nazi Pelosi ? , it won't add to the deficit if you cut spending you dope.

[American Constitutionalist]

“The Democratic provisions will create jobs and help 155 million workers through tax cuts for the middle class, helping working families who are struggling and growing the economy."

Nazi Pelosi ? the middle class and the " Struggling " working families would not be in this situation if it was not for YOUR and Democrats bad economic polices and Bwanney Fwank, and Cris Dodd's corrupt dealings in the home financial system that created this mess you dope.

[American Constitutionalist]

Not that they are " really concerned " about the deficit, but, here it is in their statements :

We have heard this recently from the Democrats/Liberals " But, How are we going to pay for tax cuts ? " .....

There you go......

Of course, they never admit that spending has to be cut, that's how you pay for tax cuts.

[American Constitutionalist]

" As is typical, the dems think that if they stir up their 20% base over class warfare, that is will somehow give them a winning strategy in 2012 "

Yeah, right, winning strategy, it will only remind Americans why they voted them out in November.

I can see the political commercials now in 2012 :

" Ok America, so we messed up and raised your taxes, pushed through legislation that YOU America didn't want us to pass.
So ? America ? come on now, we didn't mean it, give us another change.
Come on now, you can trust us, we know your hurting and raising your taxes will be a hard thing to do, but, it's only for your good and we are doing it for the children.
So ? vote for us Democrats now, but, you have to vote for us to see what we are really going to do to you " .....

This political advertisement was paid for by : SIMPLE MINDS OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTIEE

[American Constitutionalist]

One lesson learned by our first Communist/Marxist/Feminist female speaker of the house...... NEVER again vote someone in like her as speaker of the house, NEVER !

[American Constitutionalist]

Just think how bad Pelousy will look next year when she has to fly coach with the UNWASHED masses..

there now, fixed.

[American Constitutionalist]

Hey Jim ? who need the national network entertainment shows when we can get our entertainment by watching the Liberals go into mass meltdown .

[shield]

That’s how she stayed in a leadership position...promising to hold zero’s feet to the fire...not allow him to compromise with the mean old Republicans...HA HA HA...they ain’t seen nothing yet......

[MWestMom]

She actually looks better green.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The communists still think the middle class creates jobs, rather than investment in opportunities by people with cash. Where would Bill Gates be without his billionaire father?

Ironically, most of the rich people are Democrats; George Soros, Martha Stewart, Bill Gates, Oprah, John Kerry, ....

[Cheerio]

Just think how bad Pelousy will look next year when she has to fly coach with the UNWASHED masses..

She will probably purchase an entire row of seats so she does not have to be bothered with the unwashed masses talking to her.

Obama plan: Pass the Bush extensions with unemployment extensions. If the economy gets better by 2012, take credit; if not, blame the GOP.

Pelosi plan: Stop the Bush extensions. When taxes go up in 2011 blame the GOP. Or maybe she is bluffing, trying to get a better deal in the Horse Trading Phase.

[3rdcoastislander]

This lady is nuts. Everything she says is garbage. She is unimportant now.

You got the Obama-plan down. But we don't know the Pelosi plan because she used this same dance on her democrat members over the Obama-care public plan to pass a bill without it. Pelosi is in a safe seat unlike Obama who is at risk; so we will just have to just watch her.

I was teasing some black Democrats here in MD and told them Obama betrayed us by giving tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires that don't need it, and fighting needless wars, basically throwing all those arguments they used against Bush on Obama. Guess what? For the first time these black liberals defended war and tax cuts (extensions) for the rich. That was fun.

[BAW]

Is she going to refuse to go along with her own President's compromise??? Oh, this could get real good . . .

Just so long as it takess a lot of time and runs out the clock on these lame ducks.

Reminds me of RINOs here who say amnesty is bad when Obama does it but good when GWB did it.
