How is returning to pre-2000 tax levels the equivalent to taxation w/o representation?

[Bleacher Creature]

Just trying to understand how the wingnut mind operates. Are they seriously saying that letting the Bush tax cuts expire on people making more than $250K should engender the same kind of outrage that led to the American Revolution?

2. I've never understood

How the GOP could stir up so much hate toward this when so few actually make that kind of money. I've seen so many W stickers on so many old clunker cars and trucks... I just want to ask the driver how that worked out for them.

4. It's somebody's feverish imagination. That's the only thing there is to understand.

5. I also don't understand their stupidity.

I don't understand how paying taxes is the end of the world! I use to have a Right wing friend who said it is horrible to try to tax the wealthy because they work so hard for their money, and people deserve to be successful. I guess the people who aren't rich don't work as hard for their money.. Needless to say I don't speak to this friend anymore, after I found out she started listening to Limbaugh.. I couldn't deal with that.

9. I know quite a few who most assuredly do not work that hard for their money.

6. no one making over 250K a year is going to protest.

They must get their idiot bots to do it for them.

7. A majority of people making 250k and over voted for Obama

They knew he planned to roll back these tax cuts.

8. Your mistake is using logic in your reasoning. NT
