Dear repubicans, there is absolutely no sane, valid, defensible reason to . . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . . to maintain any tax cut for people earning over $200K.

We cannot afford this. Even if we could, it has not benefited the greater society in any way, shape, or form.

Period.

[Skittles]

1. it should not even be up for discussion

[NC_Nurse]

3. No kidding. And have you noticed it's all the supposed deficit hawks that support it?

Dem and Repub. Disgusting. We can blow the budget to make the rich even more comfortable, but not the poor or the disabled or the children. WTF?
For shame.

[Enthusiast]

16. We know they are

deficit hawks in name only. And of course they are only deficit hawks when Democrats are in power.

[blondeatlast]

2. Maybe not to you--but ReBPublicans very careers depend upon it.

who will think of the trust fund babies?

[JBoy]

4. I don't understand how they can even go there politically.

Hey, voters! We want to keep giving people way richer than you a big tax break. Oh, and we got nothing for you. You good with that?

WTF?

[HereSince1628]

5. But there are insane, and indefensible reasons up the a@@

And you can damn well bet that the democratic pragmatists will stop and listen to them.

[DJ13]

6. You have to understand they plan on slashing SS so this remains revenue neutral

The old folks dont need the money as badly as Buffy needs a new Jaguar.

[Drale]

7. The fact is

that most if not all of them are in that tax bracket, so they are going to want it if only purely in a selfish way.

[rve300]

9. How many folks do you think make more than $200K?

I would love to see where you found that fact? I thought only about 5-10% of American taxpayers made more than $200K. I think the Republicans received more than 5-10% of the vote in the 2008 election.

[Drale]

10. What I meant

was the Republican Senators and Represent ives are in that bracket.

[tkmorris]

12. To be fair, so are the Dems nt

[Drale]

14. Yes

but they are not the ones fighting tooth and nail for tax cuts for people who neither need them nor deserve them.

[Canuckistanian]

8. there is absolutely no sane, valid, defensible reason to . . . . .

<insert any proposal by any conservative EVER in the last 30 years>

[indepat]

11. Pubs know, but will stay the course, lying, distorting, mis-informing,

and grand-standing to make sure faithful true-believers will think life in the western world as we have known it will cease should Warren B. be asked to send as high a percentage of his total income to Uncle Sam as his secretary does: Warren reportedly knows of this gross inequity and would like to bear a fairer share of the income tax burden, but such thinking is utter heresy to true-believing pubs. ;)

[Fumesucker]

13. Those fat campaign donation checks aren't going to write themselves you know..

Think of the poor politicians for once, Stinky.

[mindwalker_i]

15. You are making the error of applying logic

to Republicans, or more specifically, what they want to do. You know better.

[Enthusiast]

17. K&R

Once again, Stinky, ya done good.

[Blue Owl]

18. One needs to look no further than what they've DONE with their tax cuts...

during the last 8 years. Nothing that's helped us, and everything that's HURT us.

ENOUGH.
