Couldn't agree more. I think the people have spoken and the country wants cradle to grave government care. So now let us ALL pay for it.
Ditto. I also say give them the tax increases they want. Make it clear that you are opposed but doing it in the interest of “compromise”. That way they won’t have Reps to blame for the failing economy. When the small business shut down, the workers who voted for this clown can fell the pain. We can say—we gave them what they wanted. Higher taxes, less jobs.
