Oh well the American people just a got a bipartisan fucking.......

[bowens43]

we now see that there is virtually no difference between democrats and republicans.....

they all want to shit on the poor and middle class and strengthen the strangle hold the rich have on our nation......

1. next, they will tackle the main problems of our budget,

medicare and the social programs.

4. All snipe with little grasp of the facts n/t

5. I see your fleet has arrived in port!

[hootinholler]

40. I like this one too

[BeyondGeography]

2. Taxes just got raised for the first time in 20 years, all on the top 2%

Your post is asinine.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

9. Lot of that going on

[kath]

15. They didn't really get raised,just went back to the top rates that existed before Chimpyshit made

his asinine tax cuts.
Plus, the rich will still be paying low rates on their first 450K.

[BeyondGeography]

20. They will pay more than they have in over a decade

The richest will pay a lot more; an extra $50K on every $1 million of capital gains. Tell them it's not an increase.

[woo me with science]

23. And the middle class and poor will pay much, much more than the rich.

Not only does this public relations tax increase affect only a small fraction of the wealthy who should be paying, it is insulting in its size and the amount of money it does collect, compared to the amount of money that will be squeezed from Americans who have already been knocked down and robbed over and over and over again.

Look how obscene the numbers are: The new taxes on the top two percent will collect a measly 600 billion dollars, out of more than FOUR TRILLION that the White House seeks to collect over the next decade. Guess who's in line to be soaked for the rest?

8. Capital gain and dividend gain taxes went up too. Please explain how we all got "f*cked."

[phleshdef]

10. Brown, Sanders, Franken, Kucinich, Grivalja, Ellison, pretty much the entire progressive caucus...

....voted for this deal. They know what they are doing better than you.

[pampango]

25. Indeed. If this was a 'fucking' as the OP professes, it was very much a Democratic one.

Of course, Democrats in congress saw it as something else entirely.

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. I know. We should've elected the Jill Stein Party, or the Roseanne Party, or the....

Rocky Anderson Party. Oh wait......

[Gman]

13. WTF?

18. This OPis the very essence of DERP

and one of the few instances I miss the unrec button.

What you are seeing is not reality and this 'WE' thing is a bit presumptuous -- this is what you see... I am not a part of this so called we.

With all due respect, your vision problem is not indicative of what happened.

[Hekate]

19. No actually, the GOP fucked themselves royally

You are full of it, and the GOP performed an anatomically impossible act upon themselves tonight....

[Kingwithnothrone]

21. you didn't hear President Obama on the wide screen tv box?

We just saved the "middle class" and the poor got some ladders to fight there way up into it "if their willing to work hard enough at it and share in the sacrifice."

Sitting here waiting for that magic good time work ethic feeling to return and serving my masters while ignoring the little austerity clock behind the curtain...set to ring about two or three months in the future.

I suppose if i was a "middle class pragmatist" i would throw another log on the fire,crank up the Pat Boone music, and toast an eggnog and a little sorbet to the American Dream and another smashing victory for Capitalism.

22. Welcome to DU!

May I introduce you to The Oatmeal?

[Kingwithnothrone]

28. Thanks

Why thank you for the warm welcome.Spelling and grammar are secondary when in crisis mode.But if you feel the need to be a spelling or grammar nanny i don't object

Against my better radical judgment i spent this last election cycle at the Boston Herald pounding on the heads of Romney,Brown,and all things Republican hoping against hope for a left turn in your party.So you can give this "commie" a pass.

35. The OP has his fingers in his ears and his eyes are closed. All the better

to write posts on what he knows nothing about.

[backscatter712]

24. Unrec. n/t

27. WHAT??!! They didn't run this by me first??!!!?? Those lousy sons of...

29. This is almost as funny

If chained CPI had been part of the final deal, I could see your point.

But it isn't. So I don't.

I like your passion, though! It's tough-to-please progressive people like yourself who will help us halt the rightward swing of the political pendulum and send it swinging back left. So a qualified—but nonetheless sincere and heartfelt—cheers!

32. Why do people always think "fucking" is a bad thing?

Most of the time it's quite nice ... if you're doing it properly.

[SaveAmerica]
