"Chicken sh--." That's what Speaker Boehner and House Republican Leadership think of extending the payroll tax cut and helping Americans pay their bills.

According to Politico, he actually told this to Tea Party House Republicans at a closed-door meeting.

The payroll tax cut extension would save the average American family over $1,000 a year. That's not "chicken sh--."

Sign our petition today telling Boehner, Eric Cantor and the rest of the Tea Party Republicans in Congress that extending the payroll tax cut is critical to the American people and the American economy. It's definitely not "chicken sh--."





A year-end push to extend the payroll tax holiday in the House is quickly morphing into a vehicle for a slew of policies that Republicans have been yearning to enact.

GOP leadership told its membership at a closed-door meeting Friday morning that it would couple with the expiring tax provisions an easing of environmental regulations on boilers, selling broadband spectrum and paving the way for the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.

The environmental regulation legislation — known as Boiler MACT — has already been rolled back in the House.

Speaker John Boehner referred to the package he’s putting forward as turning “chicken-sh— into chicken salad,” according to people who attended the meeting in the Capitol basement.

1. Consider Boner's income level plus what he's been able to steal

through sweetheart land deals and other insider information driven investments. It's chicken shit to him.

These dumb fucks will never understand that $1000 a year gets multiplied as it moves through the economy. While I wish the cut for working people had come in another form--say cutting the tax down to what it was before Reagan fucked it up and used it as a back door income tax increase on the poorest workers and raising the cap to make the impact neutral--it's still the kind of tax cut that will actually do some good for the economy.

Tax cuts to the Boners of this country have done nothing but constrict the economy and put money where it stops moving. Money only does things when you keep it moving and once you get it into the hands of the Boners, it just gets added to a bragging pile.

This is why he and his out of touch cohort have got to be driven out of power and kept out. We can't afford them any more.

2. My only comment is...

Boehner actually supports it, been trying to get other Republicans on board

3. Boehner will 'support' UI extension for people his party put out of work...

.... IF he can get tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% made permanent.
