“If we give obamski what he wants tax-wise then we take that arrow out of his quiver for 2014 - two years from now.”
I hear what you are saying, and I am tempted to agree with it.
However, I believe that even if Boehner gave President Obama everything he wanted, the President, the Democrats, and the media would still manufacture a crisis out of this so that Republicans can be blamed for the poor economy. And mark my words, the Republican House WILL get the blame (along with Bush).
Trusting John Boehner to articulate a Republican position on taxes is like hiring Willie Sutton to work at your bank.
“Everybody does their fair share, everybody plays by the same set of rules”
After Boehner walked out of talks Obama was furious with him because he would not take calls from the president.
Boehner has not hiked taxes yet even though he's been under much pressure to do so. I think he's entering negotiations with a fairly strong position.
Reduce the tax rates, then eliminate the progressive factor in determining tax status for those making more than $400,000 per year. In other words, make the top tax rate 25%, and don’t graduate the rates. This means that those making $400,000 or more pay exactly 25% of all their income.
The Estate Tax needs to be abolished.
Short of that, the exclusion amount needs to be raised to $10M

I’d rather they do the former — GET RID OF THE DEATH TAX.
I’m not going to play class warfare by going after those whose assets are worth $10 Million or up.
THEY PAID TAXES ON THOSE WHEN THEY WERE ALIVE, Why should bureaucrats be allowed to get their hands on it when they die?
