The December 2011 battle in Washington, D.C. -- a battle over continuing a Social Security tax-cut for another year, or even another two months -- demonstrates the differences between the parties in stark detail, both in terms of campaign methods and economic ideology.

What kills me about all this “Tax Cut” BS is that LAST YEAR it was called the Bush Tax Cuts and the Democrat party was totally against extending it. Now, they want it and don’t have a way to pay for it. Absolute BS.
The maddening part of this process is that the 'Rats have brainwashed their victims into accepting that the victms are the villains!
Tax cuts don't have to be paid for, tax increases do. It's not the governments money!
