No temper tantrum needed. Plan B is doa. Just an effort to get the tea party right to show they do not even like that, and that no compromise is possible. So, let the repubs stop any deal from happening, then allow the taxes to go up for everyone. then, come back in Jan with a new tax reduction for those below $250K in taxable income, and see if the repubs want to block that. Which would be POLITICAL SUICIDE. So, how do you think the public will see that, who will they blame. Most repubs are scared shitless of that scenario. And they should be....as the cave-in begins.
At least they define millionaires as people who make over $1,000,000 a year. Democrats define it as $250,000 a year.
Also the Republicans will be able to point out how little revenue it actually generates, while showing the ability to "compromise"
I see this as a good strategy. Its up to the democrats now to have a temper tantrum.
But, you have a war going on in the repub party. If the tea party wins, the party is dead for years. If the main stream repubs win, they may loose in the short term. but, the dems win either way.
