Bonehead. Doesn’t he know that the class warfare card was openly being played? He had to have talked with his staff and other members as to how to answer this inevitable question. He could have responded simply that tax cuts for ALL taxpayers help everyone in the economy. Tax cuts for the “rich” is actually a great jobs bill for the poor and middle classes.
If we get the House, we need someone more strategic and articulate than this dude.
“Doesn’t he know that the class warfare card was openly being played?”
YES. That’s why he put it back on the Democrats to *lead* and not make him the issue.

HE DID SAY THAT!
“If the only option I have is to vote for some of those tax reductions, I’ll vote for it. But I’ve been making the point now for months that we need to extend all the current rates for all Americans if we want to get our economy going again, and we want to get jobs in America. … I would hope that there would be an open debate, an open process, and let’s let the Congress decide what the current tax rates should be and for who they should be. I think there’s a growing chorus on Capitol Hill to extend all of these tax rates, and I would hope that we would do it.” - John Boehner
