Republicans show their true, ugly colors, part II

So George W. Bush and the Republicans created all those tax cuts for the already-wealthy in the country so many years ago, as we all know. And George spent the hell out of money and got us into serious and deep debt. We all know that. Then, when President Obama takes office and the tax cuts renewal comes back around, the Republicans fight for and get them extened. More money for the rich fatcats. Yeehaw. But have you seen or heard what the Rethuglicans are pushing for now? It's stunning and difficult to believe the chutzpah. They actually want to raise taxes on the middle class. True. Read about it here: "Barack Obama’s efforts to extend a cut in payroll taxes for American workers – likely to be one of the largest measures in the jobs package the president will present next week to boost the ailing US economy – is already facing resistance from sceptical Republicans. For months, Republicans have been fighting for low taxes as the recipe to revive sluggish economic growth in the US, and the payroll tax reduction was partly designed as one form of economic stimulus that could appeal to conservative lawmakers." It's as I've said repeatedly: if you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention. Link: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f2c9453a-d4a8-11e0-a42b-00144feab49a.html#axzz1WjRblXoz
