How about this for a strategy:
GOP says "OK President Obama. We'll tax the rich. Tax the shit outta them. You say we obstruct you? Ok. You say the rich dont pay their "fair" share? Ok. Americans....listen to this. We, the GOP, will trust President Obama on this. It's HIS to own. We'll vote for his big tax hike on the rich. We'll trust HIS leadership and ideals on this. We'll pass this immediately. We'll see the results in the economy and debt by next November."
Go ahead. Pass it. Hike taxes on the rich, right now. See what happens. Let Obama run on the results of it, not the idea of it.
I suspect he'd shit his pants when he realizes he'll have to run on the results.
No the Bush Tax cuts have expired, they are no longer in place. They are now the 0bama tax cuts, slight of hand and more lies.
now this is some funny shit. Is 2pm over here half way across the globe and this is by far the funniest thing I have read all day. thx, needed that laugh.
Congress votes to extend Bush-era tax cuts until '12
By Lori Montgomery and Shailagh Murray
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, December 17, 2010
Congress approved the most significant tax bill in nearly a decade late Thursday, overcoming liberal resistance to continue for two more years tax breaks enacted under president George W. Bush and to provide a fresh boost of federal support to the tepid economic recovery.
The package, brokered by President Obama and Republican leaders in the wake of the November elections, angered many Democrats, who have long argued that the Bush tax cuts were skewed to benefit the wealthy. But their last-minute campaign to scale back the bill's benefits for taxpayers at the highest income levels failed, and the House passed the measure 277 to 148, with 112 Democrats and 36 Republicans voting "no."
"This bill, the president of the United States believes and I believe, will have a positive effect on the economy," said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.). "I will vote for this bill because I don't want to see middle-income working people in America get a tax increase, because I think that will be a depressant on an economy that needs to be lifted up."
The $858 billion package now goes to the White House. With his signature, expected as soon as Friday, Obama will prevent taxes from rising on New Year's Day for virtually every American household. The measure also will guarantee unemployed workers in hard-hit states up to 99 weeks of jobless benefits through the end of next year. And it will create major new incentives for business and consumer spending in 2011, including a two-percentage-point reduction in the Social Security payroll tax that would let workers keep as much as $2,136.
The package breezed through the Senate earlier this week on a vote of 81 to 19, giving Obama his strongest bipartisan victory on a major initiative since he took office. Opposition in the House crumpled in the face of that overwhelming showing, though House liberals insisted on offering an alternative that would levy a higher tax on estates than the Obama-GOP compromise will impose. That effort failed shortly before midnight, 194 to 233.
its quite simple, Bush signed the law. Obama mealy allowed it not to expire.

You need to quit rewriting history, 0bama signed the extension of those tax cuts, he owns it now.

Why did he do that?
Do you recall what price he extracted from the GOP for signing that extention?
72% think the wealthy should share more of the tax burden. Regardless of whether the rich should pay more or not, the public believes they should. This issue is going to be a millstone around the neck of the next GOP candidate.12 to 15 different polls show the American Public agrees with Obama on this topic, some are in the 70% area.
also, the GOP needs to tell ME why this grover Norquist fells has so much power w/o being elected by WE THE PEOPLE.
Guys, this is a no briner, the close to 3 out of 4 Americans want a better tax structure for the rich. the writing is on the wall GOP. Now do as you were elected to do and govern for and by the people.
LOL Of course the polls show some Americans are for raising SOMEBODY elses taxes.
Nothing new there.
Ask em if they want theirs raised and see what you get for an answer.
Keeping taxes low for the rich, destroying unions, cutting unemployment compensation, phasing out medicare, and fighting all legislation to create jobs are not going to play well in 2012 with Americans looking for a job or worried about keeping one.

Wrong, it's what needs to be done. On top of that, all of the Bush Tax Cuts need to come to an end. As revenues increase, some of that money can be put into infrastructure spending. What many conservatives don't understand is that a great deal of government spending ends up in the private sector. Cutting that spending will take money out of the private sector and slow growth. While building a bridge to nowhere does not make sense, it does employ people and put money into the economy. We just need to concentrate on the bridges to somewhere rather than the ones to nowhere. There is good government spending and bad government spending.

ALL of it winds up in the private sector!
The government is not the three-headed money-eating ogre that Republicans keep having their moms check under the bed for! It's simply an aggregate of the citizens. Transfer payments, entitlements, departments, military - EVERY PENNY goes back into the public sector.

Obama put his name on it because that's what he wanted. It's a talking point, a soundbite. Obama can still run off his promise to not extend the Bush ear tax cuts, this time, for realz... maybe...
It's like the wars, Obama the peace president that starts new wars and expands old wars. Obamas entire Presidency is based off playing politics while never getting anything meaningful done.

I repeat!!
Barack Obama slaughtered John McCain's arse. He had seniors, young folks, Blacks, Hispanics, educators, union members, etc. backing his play and won 60 something to 40 something percent. Since those folks have watched this Republican congress block every single thing he's tried to do for them...just why in the hell do you think one of the bible thumping eight can do any better than John McCain?

Obamas bitch tax warfare is DOA. Have no worries
Doesn't he just have to let the Bush tax cuts expire? Are the Republicans willing to see taxes go up on everyone? Don't see how that works for them.
Expect that and you will be bitterly disappointed. The Dems are pansies. They will go along with the GOP as they always do.So whether you support or oppose the idea, understand it's not going to happen.
purrty much, were screwed either way. either the GOP starts to govern and help us get out of this hole now or the point of no return is near. If the GOP wins the Presidency, expect the Dems to obstruct early and often. And why not, its all the GOP did. A new precedence has been set, is that what we want?
The GOP would never go along with it because they know it would help the economy, and an improving economy is the last thing they want. That's why they have been obstructing it all along!!!How about this for a strategy:
