No, because by obstaining, the democrats will vote to raise taxes on the rich only. When the economy tanks, Republicans can say—WE DIDN’T VOTE FOR THAT!
Imagine that I am a bank teller, and somebody comes to my counter, and asks without any show of force or threat of any kind for me to hand him a thousand dollars. I ask him if this is a robbery, or if something bad will happen if I don't hand him the money, and he says that nothing will happen if I don't, but he just wants a thousand dollars.
If I hand him the money from my drawer, who robbed the bank? Me or him?
We elected a Republican House of Representatives. It is their job to be the Bank Teller. It is time for them to do their job.
