Obama: 'I refuse to renew' Bush tax cuts for rich.
Today the President endorsed the "gang of six" plan which caps the top rate at somewhere between 23% and 29%
He's supporting a plan that scraps the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy but then replaces them with even larger cuts. What an interesting way to keep your promise Mr. President.
Reagan might have told you that when a President makes an ultimatum or a stand on principle he must hold his position.

1. The problem is in your translation. Obama is speaking neocon...
which means he's saying "What the wealthy had was not enough, so I'm going to give them more free money."
Ok DUmmy lets try this for an example and see if you can figure out why that was a stupid statement, a man holds a gun up to you and demands you hand over your wallet, you give it to him, he then opens your wallet pulls out all the bills. He then hands you back the wallet and $2. Is that $2 free money?

2. How long are we going to sit and watch this country sink b/c of a wealthy president and Congress?
They are not even making a decent show of listening to voters at all.
Actually unlike when the dims passed health care, the GOP is listening to voters, you just don't like what the voters said.
