In reply to the discussion: Republicans To Obama On Taxes: Let’s Compromise By Not Raising Taxes [View all]socialindependocrat
(1,372 posts)34. Don't believe the Repukes and don't give any leeway -
Make the Repukes give everything up-front
They lie and they still have Cantor and Ryan and the rest of the liers
I'd rather pay more middle-class taxes and pay down the debt than let the Repukes off the hook.
The last time we had a majority and tried to reach across the aisle we got abused and then blamed for not accomplishing anything!
Hold their feet to the fire and make them give everything up-front!
The idea of getting rid of loopholes and waste should be understood! A no brainer!!
We have the upper hand in that the GOP either plays ball or goes the way of the dinosaur.
Push them to the wall!

Raise taxes on the 1%, cut military spending and tax the church, budget balanced.
