 CALL CONGRESS RIGHT ****ING NOW!11!!1!!
Seriously.


Senate Dems balk at ending Bush-era tax rates on wealthy without a deficit deal
By Alexander Bolton
The Hill

A growing number of Senate Democrats are signaling they are not prepared to raise taxes on anyone in the weak economy unless Congress approves a grand bargain to reduce the deficit.

At least seven Democratic senators have declined to rule out supporting a temporary extension of the Bush-era income tax rates, breaking with party leaders who have called for letting the rates expire for people earning more than $1 million per year.

That gives Senate Republicans a chance to push a temporary extension similar to the deal Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) struck with President Obama in December of 2010.

Democrats running for reelection, such as Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), have declined to endorse their leadership’s call for a tax increase on wealthy families.

The rest: http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/233389-senate-dems-balk-at-ending-bush-tax-rates-for-wealthy

Conversely we could call the dem senators and congratulate them on their clarity and responsibility.

Much hand-wringing ensues.

Worth a look.

BTW - I guess this post proves his book sales never really panned out. He's obviously immune from higher brackets..

It's amazing how lib/dem/socialists can hold budget cutting hostage to tax increases.

We wouldn't be in this mess if you would stop spending your own money however you think you want to!

I think this is a great idea. I will be phoning vulnerable donk senators and pleading/yelling/cajoling them to hike taxes on everybody.

63. Damn, this is depressing...


Please tell me it isn't true?

The Democrats are now the Party that believes taxcuts are the way to stimulate the economy?

Please tell me they are not playing us all for fools?

And they will wait until after the election and after everyone has made their decision to break the news to us?

 

Hey DUmmies, I read through your thread.  You're overlooking the fact that the country doesn't consist entirely of you misfits.  You adore taxes; normal people loathe them.  Really, really hate them.  Did that ever occur to you?

81. President Obama needs to put maximum pressure on these Senators

Call them into the Oval Office alone, refuse to campaign for them, etc etc.

 

They would probably appreciate that very much.   :lmao:

The idiot marxist son in the White House only looks out for himself.  He will only campaign for someone that bundles money for his own campaign and only then if the DimRat candidate is a sure winner.  Obama isn't going to campaign for a DimRat if there is a possibly the DimRat might lose.   That is why he skipped over Wisconsin for the Walker recall.

There might be something else involved here, though.

I need to hear the maternal ancestress's reaction first.

Mama Raven pays the taxes; the Bostonian Drunkard lives off her largesse.

When the Bostonian Drunkard's maternal grandfather set up the trust fund, he realized what a loser he had for a descendant, and so rather than having the usual trust, where the beneficiary can dig into the proceeds starting at 21 years of age (the Bostonian Drunkard's now almost 41 years old), this one's set up so where Mama Raven controls the trust until she's pushing up daisies, after which it's the Bostonian Drunkard's.

One wishes Mama Raven a long long life (she's nearly 66 years old now); many more decades of life.
