Boehner's Budget Gimmicks: Another Attempt to Hold Middle Class Tax Cuts Hostage

It is disturbing but unfortunately not surprising that an entire political party would rally together to hold tax relief for middle class families hostage as leverage to push through tax cuts for the very richest Americans -- people who don’t need them and haven’t even asked for them. But that is apparently what exactly what Republican Minority Leader John Boehner is trying to do.

Even as the Republican Party has tried to shed its dismal record on fiscal discipline, they have been consistent and unwavering in their attempts to borrow more than $700 billion to support permanent tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. But giving an average $100,000 tax break to those making over $1,000,000 a year when we can’t afford them and they don’t need them is not sound economic policy.

3. "It's a job killer" - As if having all that extra cash created any jobs in the last 10 years.

It is a start, but we need to be screaming about this hypocrisy every single day! There needs to be more voices then a chorus line. They're singing, "You don't raise taxes during a recession." We need to sing our mantra louder and more frequently, "Half the savings from the ultra-rich tax reversal going to increase tax cuts for the middle class, the other half for national debt reduction."


Even numbskulls will understand the validity of it. The dems have to stop letting the reps sidetrack our messages...if we do, we can save our country from a political disaster in November.

REC.
