   Even the Repugs aren’t dumb enough to believe that.

   Too true folks. Don’t you love that a tax rate less than 1/2, near 1/3 of the rate Eisenhower was charging them, during the most productive growth period in American history, will now “break ’em”, and destroy all incentives?

   Taxes on the rich, within reason, have NEVER slowed economic growth, according to the CBO report that the GOP attempted – and failed – to suppress. We could go back to the Clinton era tax rates, and the only effect on the economy would be the decrease in demand from the middle class. That’s why Obama proposed the $250,000 cutoff.

   The republicans sent a budget to the senate in August. If the senate doesn’t like it, they can ammend it and send it back. That is the way it is supposed to work.

   The democrats control the senate. If there is no budget, no budget deal, it is their fault, not the republicans in the house.

   The wealth disparity is the widest in history, and it’s still not enough? Republicans are all about spending without paying for it – and then blaming somebody else further on down the road.

   Then why not pass a bill extending tax rates for everyone making $400,000 a year or less already? I can pretty much guarantee if that’s what Congress passes, Obama will sign it.

    Spending is part of the problem. Military spending needs to come down. No sane person can justify our military budget, but…
    
    REVENUES AT A 50 YEAR LOW AS A PERCENTAGE OF GDP ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

    The ratio of tax exemptions to revenues is 1:1. Most of the tax exceptions are corporate ones.

    Like credit for moving jobs overseas, “moving” to the Caymans so as not to be an “American” company, et cetera, et cetera.

    The cartoon shows the “job creator” at the end of his Bush tax breaks.
