...Conservatives don't DO tax increases and don't DO class warfare...FRIGGIN PERIOD!!!
Kissa mah ass!!!
Pass an 18% flat tax. Throw it out there and see what happens. Let the media get into the weeds of the details.
When they say that it will not reduce the deficit. Say that we are looking for leadership on reducing expenditures. Pose - What percentage of a person’s income should go to taxes?
Hey the rich voted for Obama. They want their taxes raised. Let them have it good and hard. The public wants... it everyone wants it. For conservatives to fight this battle for folks who don’t want their help is beyond stupid.
We’re NOT in a recession NOW?
Who knew?
I’m always the last to know.
Plan B was bad, but rejecting it simply means a worse option will eventually pass through the House - it will just be done with mostly Democrat votes instead.
The problem with Boehner is that he is NOT part of the solution. He can’ be... he is not equipped to be. I’m sure he has his talents, but leadership is not one; ability to dream up and then make bold strokes to fiscal health to attack the spending not his forte.
RE: Hey the rich voted for Obama.
Is there a reliable poll that tells us that?
RE: We’re NOT in a recession NOW?
A recession is officially defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.
Our GDP growth might be very little, but it has not been negative for 2 years.
A new survey from Spectrem Group found that 68% of millionaires (those with investments of $1 million or more) support raising taxes on those with $1 million or more in income. Fully 61% of those with net worths of $5 million or more support the tax on million-plus earners
Nothing is preventing these millionaires from sending more money to
The IRS. They can write and make a donation today if it makes them feel
better.

Funny thing, when these m/billionaires DO give away their money, they don’t show their faith in an all-wise federal government. Nope. The substitute their own selfish judgement of what constitutes a good use of their resources.
Fighting for the tax rates of a bunch of rich Obama voters makes as much sense as fighting for freedom in a Muslim country. They don’t want our help and aren’t worth the effort anyway.

What about those earning BELOW $1 Million in income (a huge number of small businessmen )?
RE: Your post...

In this case, Boehner ought to submit PLAN C, Raise the rates of those making $5 Million or more. That is more in line with the survey results.
I think plan B is a million and up.
RE: I think plan B is a million and up.
I am not talking about PLAN B ( it is already dead ).
I am referring to the poll you referred to where 61% of those making $5 Million and up want taxes raised.
So, I say a PLAN C is in order, raising taxes for those making 5 Million and up ACCORDING TO THEIR WISHES.
And Boehner can refer to the poll you just showed in presenting that.
