“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?

The Bush tax cuts benefited everyone. The payroll tax cut benefits everyone who earns income at the expense of underfunding social security. The GOP is objecting to raising taxes on one group of people. Not extending the payroll tax cut raises taxes on all income earners. The GOP is not advocating raising taxes on just YOU. You seem to be OK with raising taxes as long as it's not your taxes.
