Despite the fact that Republicans in Congress have made reducing the deficit one if their signature issues this election season, they also have been arguing — without addressing the $700 billion cost — that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy should not be allowed to expire. Yet a new USA Today/Gallup poll found that a majority of Americans see it differently. “While 37% support keeping the tax cuts for all Americans, 44% want them extended only for those making less than $250,000 and 15% think they should expire for all taxpayers”: Gallup notes the bottom line: “Democrats may not be putting themselves at great political risk by allowing the tax cuts to expire for wealthy Americans. In fact, the middle ground of extending tax cuts for low- and middle-income Americans but allowing them to expire for wealthy Americans — the Democrats’ most likely proposal — is the specific option the public prefers most.”

And that is why they don't have JOBS. I hate to break this rocket science to the "Progressive" DONKEY idiots on this forum but the RICH CREATE THE JOBS!!! Tax them more than you do the others, YOU LOSE THE JOBS that money in their hands could have created.
The tax cuts haven't expired yet, but there are no jobs. Care to explain that? Have you noticed where the jobs are? That's right, low wage countries outside of the US.
"Our quest for the lesser evil has arrived at an impasse. On one hand we have a world-class Doublethinker who expects us to thank him for keeping promises he has vigorously broken and to accept the cynical notion that war is peace. On the other we have a mob of flesh-eating galoots who promise to give us Orwell’s Hate Week 52 weeks a year for as long as it takes them to bring about Armageddon. " — Jeff Huber
Because your boy Barry Soetorro has made doing business in the US untenable. It will remain so as long as the foreign usurper occupies the White House. You commie dogs can't have it all, you know.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over. (Murron)
I don't have a "boy" named Barry Soetorro. You really need to look into getting that Alzheimer's test.

Whatever you call your "boy" or boys in your typical Afghan Muslim village is up to you, Sweetie.
Maybe not, but Barry's got a bitch named Skippy.

No he doesn't, asshole. I dislike Obama as much as I dislike Bush. You pathetic clowns that troll over here assigning political positions based on nothing but your own biases are a joke.

Oooooh, and he's looooovin' it.
You stand on the principle called quicksand. You're a moral relativist coward sitting on the fence 24/7. NEVER supported decency or righteousness here. NEVER.
The transparency of Barry's supporters is pathetic.

Amazing how many apologists there are for the TOP 50 000 and their Greatest Concentration of Wealth in World History. And how this has NOTHING whatsoever to do with America's crumbling Infrastructure-see San Bruno 50 homes torched by P&GE-or America's worldwide Military enforced Empire. Amazing. Well, maybe not so much, eh, zioFundy Nazi's?
Amazing how many don't seem to realize the poor don't hire anyone. It isn't enough to take have the estate after they pass, huh? Sheesh.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Amazing how so many people don't realize the poor are the way they are thru continuous 24/7 violence by the Greatest Concentration of Wealth in the History of the World. Every Fortune the result of an undiscovered crime. When doe this game of monopoly end, BE? When your sweet baby jeebus arrives? ;}
3 billion living on less than $2 per day.
While the Top 50 000 also get Special Privileges: The Fairfax police public statement on the death made no reference to Marvin Bush, his address, or the videotape of the deceased employee with President Bush: "A 62-year-old Alexandria area woman died after being pinned between a rolling car and a building. The crash happened on Monday, around 9 pm, near the intersection of Fort Hunt Road and Edgehill Drive. Bertha Champagne had gone outside to get something from a car in a driveway. The car, which was left in gear, began to roll forward. Champagne was pinned between the car and a small building next to the driveway. The car continued to roll down the driveway, crossed Fort Hunt Road, and came to rest in a wooded area. Champagne was taken to Inova Mount Vernon Hospital where she was pronounced dead." In fact, an attempt by this editor to obtain the police report in 2003 was unsuccessful, the Fairfax police public affairs officer claiming that it was only releasable to the "Accident Reconstruction Team." Some observers wondered if Secret Service agents might have been able to assist Champagne when her car pinned her. According to the Secret Service in Washington, the agency only provides protection to presidential siblings if an Executive Order authorizes such action. A Secret Service spokesperson emphasized there was no current Secret Service protection for Marvin Bush at the time of Mrs. Champagne's death.
