Obama Tax Cuts Rejected In House

[TheKentuckian]

44. I think you don't understand their SOP argument that the media will back them on enough

to blunt an effective attack.

They will argue they voted against ANY tax increase and it will be bought hook, line, and sinker as per the always.

Anyone that paid attention in Dealing with TeaPubliKlan Bullshit 101 (aka as the last 30+ years of living in America) has internalized and accepted that the only way to have any shot whatsoever of breaking that line is to let the cuts all expire and come back with new cuts. The bad part is too many have been oblivious to their shit and have failed to do exactly that while hemorrhaging ability to deal forcefully on the issue.

My way has no guarantee of success but what we are trying has minimal odds on the best of days.

They have been allowed to do the almost impossible, defend themselves using the truth (despite being unholy spin and a pure frame job). As things stand they are actually voting against a tax increase on the wealthy, there is no "cut" for the middle class but rather maintaining the status quo. People have had the reduction for over a decade, there is no "actual" rate for younger people because this is all they have ever paid and as such aren't going to really buy that they were denied a cut because no rate reduction is in the mix which is one of the reasons I was adamantly against this crap in the first place, felt we should eliminate them as soon as we had power to do so rather than even waiting for the sunset, and damn well felt they should have been allowed to expire.

We should have dealt with this a long while ago and I believe with the right effort being rid of those cuts would have greatly increased receptiveness toward desperately needed broader tax reform.
