Liberal Democrats: Higher rates for wealthy 'just the beginning'
The Hill ^ | 11-30

Posted on 11/30/2012 6:42:51 PM PST by Arthurio

A group of House Democrats has formed its own “Gang of Six” to push for progressive tax reform — in which the expiration of the Bush-era tax rates for the wealthiest Americans is “just the beginning.”

I think it is about time that we stop beating up on Boehner and McConnell all the time and say a few prayers for them instead.

They’re the only things standing in the way of Hugo Chavez style dictatorship in this country.

Thank you.... first time I’ve seen some one recognize this.

"first time I’ve seen some one recognize this."

I say, replace McConnell with Paul, and Boner with Newt (Speaker doesn't have to be a CongressCritter.

Tax increases for rich is a dumb idea.... and resonates with people who don’t pay taxes and don’t vote republican.

Screw’em dare Obama to take over the cliff and hike taxes on everyone.... his second term will be a bust, and his legacy will be trash.

Democrats want to enslave all Americans, taking away all our property and freedom .

It’s about time we at least name the threat = the democrat party. This democrat communist Obama stole the election and wants to steal all our property.

My plan if we can ever get another election is:

Abolish all of the federal government except for defense and border and immigration control( do not let any more immigrants in legal or illegals). What do we need this stupid gigantic government for anyway ? for nothing . That means no more IRS, EPA, HUD, FEC , FCC, TSA, gov schools, dept of education, etc.

I have more but have to go.

When our side stops sending jobs elsewhere, would be a good starting point.

Buy American!

When individual states start to form infantry regiments....

Here we go again. Democrats threatening to be socialists. OK. Let’s give them some. In a show of support for the average American who is struggling to get by, Congressman Denny Rehberg, R-MT, introduced a bill requiring the President, his cabinet and staff, all nationally elected officials and all government employees in the Washington, D.C. Area to grow and eat their own food. Let’s see how socialist these phonies are when they’re in the barn at 5am milking the cows. These are some “Soft-Hand Socialists” who’ve never had to shovel cow crap. They could give their excess produce to the poor. Live like a socialist or shut up about it. This is all show by them. Let’s see some real socialism.

Nothing will change for quite a while. I am beginning to wonder if it wouldn’t be best if the Marxists gain control of the House and get a super-majority in the Senate in two years. Emboldened, they will attempt to seize 401(k)’s and IRA’s.

That is when the shooting war begins, Washington burns to the ground and Democrat politicians are left to mob justice. These United States were born from the ashes of revolution against a tyrannical government. It is almost time for a re-birth.

“They’re the only things standing in the way of Hugo Chavez style dictatorship in this country.”

Sorry Arthurio, they need to be replaced if they are bent on giving away our country as their actions to date have shown. Both of them have exemplified serious weakness in their leadership. Boner in particular, has had feet of clay. At this juncture, I am going to pray that their respective caucuses find it in their hearts to replace the both if them with effective leadership. Personally, I’d be happy to see Newt as Speaker once again. And put either Paul or Rubio in charge in the Senate. Either of those guys would have Harry Reid’s jockstrap, torn and bloody, hanging on their office door.
