<<<<< I am a tea - party member, but, even I, have to admit that Obama has us between a rock and a hard place. We, the tea-party, should not be pawns in Obama's game and Obama is using our stand against raising taxes in his effort to destroy the GOP. Plan B really is a brilliant bit of strategy. Give it a chance, I say.
Two things happened in yesterday’s pay-for-view debate between Obama and John Boehner.
First, Boehner made it clear that the GOP was about to approve a minimal tax increase on people earning a million or more per year while making permanent, the Bush tax cuts for all other citizens.
The move would protect the poor and working middle class and
save more than 700,000 jobs that would be lost under Obama’s plan (according to the CBO).
The second event, is
the approval of Grover Norquist:
"Boehner’s ‘Plan B’ Not A Tax Pledge Violation."
Norquist argues that Plan B does not represent a violation of the
contract against raise taxes, signed by
more than 230 members of Congress several years ago.
But, if taxes are
going up on millionaires, why is that
not a “violation?”
Because the increase
is not permanent. Plan B simply protects
the nation against the fiscal tax cliff,
with future legislative remedies yet to come.
Brilliant.
Maybe I
should apologized to the Speaker . . . .
. . . seriously.
With the GOP on record (assuming the Houses passes Plan B), the
Senate and B Obama will be forced to vote down this legislation, or ignore it,
or rant and rave, but, whatever they do, all of it will be in the public eye, for a change.
There is so much attention focused on this matter, that the press has no choice but to report on
the Democrats decision. They, the
Dems, have spent the last three years
trashing the nation’s “One Percent.”
Well, Boehner has suddenly called
their bluff. The "one percent," will pay more (their 'fair share') until that problem can be solved, legislatively, as well.
