Sorry to burst your bubble, but yes, REPUBLICANS also voted for this.
So there is a difference between letting something expire and adding a tax? To me there is not unless you just pass over the problems with this and toss in a few assumptions.
I assume they feel the economy is doing so well that it's ok to do this? (oopps...I forgot the bogus numbers during the election.)
I assume they feel that no new taxes on the middle class meant "new" as in never used before? (look you can shine a turd but in the end it's still a turd)
I assume that when he stood up and said no new taxes we were supposed to read the fine print that exempted him from being a part of this? (once again he gets off....funny how that works)
I assume he fought hard to stop this and had no earthly or heavenly power to stop this?
In the end I'm paying more so to me this can be sliced and diced into tidbits to free any blame on him but in reality he bears some of it.
Whose bubble are you popping?? I think they all suk eggs. All of them! I just hate how no matter what this idiot says or does that people act as if he had no choice or it's not his fault.
