It's not clear to me that Republicans are smart enough to beat Democrats on this tax issue.
In 2010 I was posting here regularly that Obama needed all the tax cuts extended while acting like he wanted some of them to expire (as he is now) to have his cake and eat it too, because of his re-election this year. And DA-DA-Da, they were extended and he got the endless FICA tax cut and some tax credits too, both he can use against Romney.

But now Obama can run for the expiration of the rates and really veto it this time if he is re-elected without having to worry about being blamed for their expiration because it doesnt happen until after the election. And he will just blame Republicans for it.

I think Republicans should focus on his threat to veto a tax cut extension bill and using Dems like phrases: “Obama is holding the middle class hostage to his agenda to destroy job creators because his real agenda is to put the increasing numbers of unemployed Americans on food stamp dependency.”, I should be writing their scripts LOL

...or they could discuss a flat tax for everyone. When the Democrats balk at this idea (which they would)...the GOP could point out this proves that the Dems are only interested in punishing success.

When was the last time the Republicans did anything right? I honestly can’t remember.
