Are they wanting to tax the rich, or just the poor? It doesn't matter; any tax increases (whether they be real tax increase on rich people or corporations or fako cuts in 'tax revenue') will be met with at least a 1:1 ratio of spending cuts. That means welfare, social security, medicare, medicaid. So even if rich people have their taxes raised, poor people will effectively have theirs raised as well. Farce. |

You can only take so much from the poor before they have nothing to take. What's at stake is having to actually pay for maintaining the police state that keeps the malcontents under control and endless wars after the poor have no money to pay for it anymore. You know, having to share a burden with people who have been doing such a fine job of carrying it for you for such a long time is a really difficult decision. I feel the Republican's pain.
(heavy dose of sarcasm in last sentence of the paragraph above)

You know when it takes someone beating me over the head with a heavy metal object to make you make sense, it's time for you to go.
Also this isn't anything new...the GOP is trying to get elected. So to get elected, they're gonna have to appear that they're the good guys. To do that, is to raise taxes.
Ironbite-so they can say "hey, we're tough on stuff too!" or some shit like that.

I cant help but wonder if the taxes they want to raise is only for middle and lower class. After all, these are the same people who were prepared to have all sorts of crap happen with the debt ceiling fiasco if the tax cuts for the rich were not extended.
As such, under their usual principle of tax cuts for the rich, now with raising taxes, all I see is them pushing the burden onto the poor even more than before.
