(13,616 posts)to say that will compromise happens, there are certain things that we cannot give away, social security for one, and the right to have our voices heard against MORE mid east wars as another. It is one thign to horse trade, it is another when you have the Koches outright wanting to DESTROY, not compromise. No, we are not trying to be like them, if we were, we would be trying to bring tax rates back to Eisenhower days, and actually call for some of the people that LIED us into war to go to jail, or for some of the traders who lied like Jamie Dimon to get sued.. All most are asking is that we do not give away the store. The right has gotten compromises, like NAFTA, like Welfare reform, like Hillary's beloved H1b-Visas that helped put a generation out of work, and sadly, yes Hillary's very pro war stance. It is not unreasonable to ask they leave our damned social security alone, and that instead of paying Eisenhower level taxes, they pay at least Bill Clinton era taxes, and that they leave some regulations in place so that Wall Street does not crash the economy again and have us, the taxpayer, bail them out again! If you consider leaving most of the New Deal intact playing the victim, then how are you offering anythign different then the competition?
