They gave in on “taxing the rich” which was wrong and they gave in by taking away the 2 percent giveback.
People like me who are conservative and work two jobs just lost money to Washington.
I can get over that personally but the grassroots out there who work and support the GOP will be the bite of higher taxes, too.
This a European style bailout, not conservative legislation.
Moodys wants more austerity type measures or the credit rating of the US gets lowered.
This is the first of many “imperfect deals” to come.....
If you make more than 400k a year, hats off to you. But your taxes had already gone up before the deal was done. No deal and your taxes would still be higher, along with everyone elses. And there would be no way the Pubs could ever sell themselves as the party of lower taxes after that. It would confirm in the minds of the public the Dem meme that "Republicans only care about the rich".
