...the White House quickly denounced House Republicans for scuttling debt reduction and preventing "the very wealthiest and special interests from paying their fair share."

Why in the hell can't the GOP get in front of the public and simply say: "The 'rich' are the people who drive this economic engine and we need them to invest more in order to create jobs. Saying they don't pay their fair share is simply a lie, and the White House knows it. The richest 10% of the people in the US currently pay 66% of all federal income taxes. In contrast, the lowest 40% pay no federal income taxes. If the Democrats truly wants a level playing field, then they must cut taxes on the rich."

I agree, these these 5 sentences should be memorized by every Republican candidate and stated every single time they are in front of a microphone, over and over and over until the American people finally get it!

on news this morning they said now 51% of filers pay no federal tax

and 30% of filers are tax “eaters” - they get reverse transfers from the IRS
they get money for filing, but pay nothing
