“The Republicans way of paying for the payroll cut is better. “
All politics is local... the only economy that matters is the individual’s economy.
With that in mind, an independent sees a GOP that will shut down the government over taxes on the wealthy. But, when it comes to taxes on that independent, that person’s personal taxes, the GOP will fight to let them go up.
You may scoff, but symbolism matters. And if I’m making $50k and suddenly it becomes $49k, and it’s substantially because of the GOP. I know who I’ll punish.
oh sure, you’ll “punish the GOP” by voting democrat or not voting or voting “independent” ....
that will show them! and think about how much lower your taxes will be
If $50K is rich
maybe I want to go Galt and make $40K and keep more of it and work less for it
The Republican plan to pay for it is to cut the number of federal jobs and freeze the pay of federal workers.
The Dems’ refuse to do that so it is “substantially because of the GOP”?
Only if the media convince people that it is!
Well, I agree the lying media will make it the R’s fault because they didn’t do what the D’s wanted- but the media always do.
And that is the real problem you are speaking of.
