WASHINGTON — House Republican leader John Boehner says he would support extending tax cuts only for middle-class earners even though he considers it "bad policy" to exclude the highest-earning Americans from tax relief during a recession.
One of President Barack Obama's chief economic advisers said Sunday he was happy that Boehner, R-Ohio, isn't willing to hold hostage an extension of tax cuts for those earning under $250,000 a year, or more than 97 percent of earners, to try to gain a continuation of breaks enjoyed by the wealthiest.This to me smells like the republicans are scared, they are scared the voters are starting to see them for the obstructionist, middle-class hating, millionaire loving thugs they really are! This falls into what Obama said last year... he'll be damned if Romney gets elected in 2012 and takes credit for all the hard work the democrats have done since taking over. (not his exact words but you get the jist!)
So now all of a sudden the GOP is gonna start working for the middleclass? First we had Sen.Voinovich saying he will break the filibuster on the bill that will help small business, now we have Boehner coming out agreeing with Obama?? How about you Mitch McConnell, have anything to add??
Wow, something stinks in Washington....
