Yeah, I’ll admit, it chaps my behind that they want to fight like heck to avoid taxes on the wealthy, but when it comes to raising MY taxes. No problem.

It is the "wealthy" aka small business owners who will be hit with these tax hikes. They are also the employers. They will do what is necessary to survive. Higher taxes means they have less money to spend on labor and their customers have less disposable income to spend on their products. More people will be put on the streets with no pay check. It's a stupid way to run a country.

“It’s a stupid way to run a country.”

Which brings us back to my original point.

We agree taxes are bad, the government wastes far more than it uses for anything worthwhile. The problem is, the GOP has made a production of fighting taxes on the wealthy. But, in this instance, when the taxes will hit the rest of us, the GOP is rolling over.

Bottom line, they’ll fight for the wealthy, but not for me. Right?
