Seriously, if the GOP won't budge on taxing millionaires, fuck them! Take it over the Fiscal Cliff (Good Name for a Punk Band) and let the Bush era tax cut expire.

Let THEM be the ones to explain to the American public why they raised taxes on the Middle Class. It's very simple Mr. Boehner and Mr. McConnell:

NO to Medicare and Social Security cuts
YES to military cuts and tax hikes on people who make over $250.000 a year.

Go on; I DARE you to block this!
