Why won't Boehner and the Repubs compromise on revenues??

No! They already gave Obama his tax increase at the first of this year! Never mind how measly it may have been.

How about paying back all the revenues you gave away so that you could spend the Social Security fund over the last few decades? So long as the poor were paying the taxes, via SS fund, that only made it possible for the wealthy to take more and more wealth out of our economy. How about they pay that back? Oh, no compromise on that issue?? Huh?
