tax the damn rich....make a phoney baloney move to tax the rich more......it will bring in no more tax money maybe less....but the American peasantry will love it....

don't let bammey get control over the debt ceiling....don't allow more stimulus....

but to act all uppity about not taxing the rich is not the hill we want to die on...

Taxing authority begins in the House ~ this has nothing to do with taxing the rich ~ they always take care off themselves you know what with the world's best tax lawyers and tax accountants at their beck and call.

The question is whether or not the Constitution is to be allowed to work as designed with Congress checking the excesses of a runaway Executive.

“tax the damn rich....”

Bull. That is just stupid.... the debt will increase and Obama gets credit yet again.

I say let’s do what the dems do, use the emergency to get real reform, or let Obama’s 2nd term be a disaster on diplomacy. The taxes are going up anyway. Let him blame congress for the next two years - you don’t think that narrative will get old ?

His legacy will be trash - remember congress has no legacy. We can do to Obama was the dem congress did to Reagan.

This cliff crap is just hype so people will watch the news.
