When the director of the White House’s Office of Management and Budget was called before the House Armed Services Committee to talk about sequestration Wednesday morning, he didn’t mince words in blaming Republicans for the looming budget cliff.
“The root cause of the problem today is the refusal of Republicans to acknowledge that the top two percent of Americans have to pay their fair share,” an exasperated Jeffrey Zients said, after committee members pressed him to discuss the fiscal implications of sequestration and how it might be avoided.

Texas showed us last night that if republicrats yield on this they are going to a tea party. It does’nt bother me to cut the defense establishment. Maybe it will force us out countries we have no business in and stop bombing people in sovereign countries. Also the military has open homosexuality. You want to pay for that? Sequester the hell out of it but not 1 thin dime of any new revenues. If the Dems want to kill the Bush tax cuts they just blew their hollow promise not the increase taxes on the middle class because their taxes go up $1.500!!That’s their fault. No Mercy . Stop Boehner from caving again!!
Give Obama and his administration appointees drug and competency tests!
Better, vote for drug-free, sober, and able adults November 2012
Speechless. Just Speechless.
Jeffrey...Jeffrey...Jeffrey...STHU and go home to mommy. You clowns are outta there in November. Your commie, “wealth redistribution” experiment is coming to an end.
A “fair share” would be everyone paying the same amount. The next fairest would be a flat tax. Right now, the wealthy pay 76% of our nations taxes.
Worst.most.divisive.president.ever.

The truth is lost on most Americans. Sad state of affairs. Speaking of fair, most people learn when they are pre teens, that life ain’t “fair”.
If you are going to be successful in life, the last thing you better be expecting is fair. Get out there learn to eat some dirt, and get on with it.

The real problem sir is that you are an idiot.
The top 2 percernt pay way more then their share already.
SPEND less.
Here, fixed this:
The root cause of the problem today is the refusal of Oama to acknowledge that the top two percent of Americans have have been paying much more than their fair share for quite some time, they're running out of motivation to continue to contribute to those who refuse to contribute anything at all, and don't have the desire to wake up and go to work in the morning, just to see the results of their efforts confiscated and given to those sitting on their asses blaming everyone else for their lack of success.
The Dems and Rinos better give up the hobby of shaking down Americans and just cut the massive, jack booted Federal machine they have created. We don’t want it. We won’t pay for it.
This is the situation in a nutshell. Great graphic!
