   How demanding of you. O want’s to take it all from everyone. Boehner wants people to keep what they earn.

   President Obama is holding all the Aces, Boehner just has Jokers. We’ll see if Crybaby Boehner has any leadership abilities as he has to accept tax rate increases for the top 2% moocher class of takers.

   The right has brazenly, repeatedly, cruelly and loudly foisted their now-debunked economic ideals on the country for three decades. Only a smattering of easily duped, angry suburban and rural people—used by the rich as stooges—still buy this silliness. They have nothing left anymore except old white men and their chattel wives who want everyone to worship Jesus the way that their crazy fundamentalist pastor wants us to worship Jesus.
   .
   That’s the deck you rightnicks are working with. Good luck.

   @Ms. Ima

   Obama is proposing tax increases only on the top 2%, WHICH IS NOT EVERYONE. Even FOX News isn’t saying this, so where do you get this stuff??

   And Boehner is protecting the top 2% MUCH, MUCH more so than he is protecting the other 98% (so guys like Romney can continue to pay 14% on $20+ million).

   Mr. Ima said, “Boehner wants people to keep what they earn.”

   
   Then why is he caving in to Obama’s tax increases? Is he just a wussie or was it all for show all along?

   @Gresch

   Seems to me that a key point was taxation without representation. Americans received nothing for their tax money then.
   .
   Americans receive benefits for their tax moneys now. Including spending huge amounts on wars in foreign lands, including investing the lives of thousands of young Americans.
   .
   I do not see your comparison being equal in any way.

    Clark, let’s say Boehner steps down. Who do you think will be next? A “moderate” Republican? Do you really you will like that person?

    Boehner only plays three card monte, which is of course a con. If he leaves, Cantor could step up? THAT is not progress by any definition.

    Dem Libs need to squeeze money from Americans workers to enable them to pay for Free Stuff to buy votes to keep them in power….47% of American are OK raising income taxes because they have no Skin in the Game.

    Problem is Obama keeps saying “go fish” Boehner only has a three of a kind. When B tries to lay his hand down Obama chimes in with “Hit me, 21 I win”

    Hey I have an idea. Obama could have passed his own budget. You know like he was to do by law the last three years. Let me see, the elephant has passed and voted on how many budgets? Obama has what 0 votes on any budget in the last 3 years?
