It isn’t a tax cut, it’s a cut in Social Security funding.

IE it’s a social security cut. C’mon repubs.

It’s redistributing income tax payments to cover a purposely created shortage in social security funds.

C’mon man!

Exactly...all this nonsense does is give Obama some twisted talking point about repubs rejecting a middle class tax cut.
Sure nice when the press is all in your camp. Repubs have to get out their check books and have ads on every network to educate the sheeple. Where my wife works, the young people don’t know anything other than what they see on Jon Stewart, alphabet networks or newspaper headlines. Education is power; time to go back to basics and dethrone and debunk Obama.

Social Security funding is through taxes. All funding “for” Social Security goes into the general fund. All funds paid out to Social Security recipients go out of the general fund. Do you also think there is a “lockbox”?

This was a battle lost at the very beginning. And it was certainly lost the moment McConnell and the spineless Republicans in the Senate agreed to the compromise.

This bunch of Republicans in the House are absolutely tone deaf when it comes to politics. The public relations battle was lost. Their only choice was to give the Democrats their victory and take the pipeline.

Stupid, stupid, stupid and they have done more damage to the Republican hopes in November than anything any of the candidate could do.
