Apparently the GOP objects Obama's effort to give the middle class a tax break by cutting out tax loopholes and increasing tax rates for the wealthy.

Why does the GOP object?

The thoroughly debunked theory of trickle down economics....

The Obama plan to cut taxes for the middle class while raising capital gains taxes on wealthiest Americans should enjoy broad support within Democratic caucuses of the House and Senate. Obama’s proposal is the first shot in what could be a year-long battle over tax reform. Republicans thought they could get President Obama to agree to corporate tax reform, but they now know that the reforms they are seeking will come at a price.

Sen. Sanders (I-VT) will be using his power position as the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee to push the president’s plan for tax cuts for those who have been harmed the most by the gap between the rich and the poor. Republicans who are opposing the president’s plan are arguing that the wealthiest among us should not have to pay their fair share in taxes. In November 2014, Bernie Sanders and other congressional liberals teamed up with President Obama to kill a plan to give $440 billion in tax cuts to corporations. Sen. Sanders blasted the corporate tax cut plan, “This tax cut agreement does exactly the wrong things. At a time of massive wealth and income inequality, it extends huge tax cuts to the rich and large corporations while threatening programs that help low-income children.”

The tax cut debate is a debate about values and priorities. Republicans are committed to building an oligarchy by redistributing resources to those who already have the most. Democrats and their allies firmly believe that the middle class must be rebuilt and that strong economies grow from the middle out instead of top down.

Members of the congressional Democratic caucuses are standing with President Obama on his tax plan, which means that the Republican plan to divide Obama and his allies just became a lot more difficult.

Obama's constituents are unions, minorities, illegals, welfare recipients, and leftist dolts such as Elkindope.

I hear Romney's courting the 47%.

:lol:

[johnforbes]

Alas, Romney was correct about the 47 percent.

He was too honest.

[sillydaddy]

Obama said in his State of the Union Address that his administration has been a success. If by that he is referring to the undermining of America then he is correct. Now he wants free community college education to be available to all illegals paid for by the American taxpayer.

fuck willard'''''' :lol:

[elklindo69]

The GOP finds another way to fuck the middle class.

Business as usual...

[sillydaddy]

Elk, being a typical liberal....pretends there's a middle class.

Don't blame me if you are on food stamps...

[sillydaddy]

No....but if I was I'd blame Obama.

[Clownkicker]

That's what makes you such a partisan scumbag, sillydunce.

If you were on food stamps you would be thanking Obama, not blaming him.

Most of the new people on food stamps were put there by unemployment caused by the collapse overseen by G.W..

This was going on before Obama got into office.

[Clownkicker]

First, Republicans like Romney put you out of work when they cannibalize the company you worked for and, with it, your pension fund.

Then they're unhappy because someone wants to feed you in your time of need.

Over half of the people on disability are either anxious or their back hurts —...


Now, this is from a cunt who has been on the tit its entire life.....^^^^^^^

[sillydaddy]

Obama has don't crap for the what little is left of a middle class.......they are now better known as the "new poor".
And don't kid yourself that he is going to come down hard on the rich....all that is, is just talk. He plays golf with them everyday. The poor will remain poor.
Only ass kissing Obama supporters like Clown and Elk would be grateful to Obama for ending up on food stamps..

^^^ That is all completely true and accurate. But you cannot convince people who are such partisan suckers and tools.

That's true also. Yet we all keep getting angry and blaming each other. What a hustle.

The rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer under Obama.

Is that the new conservative definition for "socialist?"

Regardless what conservatives tell you, there will be tax increases in the future. Trillions are needed to fund infrastructure repairs and the politicians don't have the balls the raise the freaking gas tax. Not to mention a deluge of baby boomers who will be retiring and going on S.S. and Medicare. Their benefits cannot solely be paid by spending cuts, that's impossible, but it's what conservative politicians want you to believe. They fall back on the pseudointellectual "Laffer Curve" more aptly named "Laughter Curve" which has fully debunked to the Nth degree, to justify tax cuts....

So your taxes eventually will be raised in one form or another. The kool aid the current conservatives are serving you is just to keep them elected, because people like you don't know any better and don't bother to question what you are being feed.
