They won't be job-creators after their taxes go up; they'll be job-slashers and economy stagnators. That's what you libs wanted, right? More job losses and a worsening economy?

So, the super rich not only get 9 billion in bonuses this year...but also extended tax breaks...

These super rich are not creating jobs for no one...

The Replicans haven't broken the mold at all...so much for the tea party...

At least the elite Republicans in Washington...
Wallstreet got those bonus' thanks to Obama letting them do that with TARP money. It was payback to his buddies for helping him get elected.

Well yeah, but Dems are counting on their constituents being too dumb to realize that.

Yes, they DO want more job losses. Those unemployed come in handy when they need to gather up an army of useful idiots to riot in the streets. The Dems won't extebnd UE benefits with already paid for money so more people will go broke and join the ranks of the useful idiots. They are using the unemployed as pawns.

And your point is what? Who cares if people make alot of money? Good for them. If you don't like it you can advance your skills and make yourself marketable and make more money. Why should someone be vilified becasue they make money? Why should they be taxed....so their income can be redistributed back to others? What about the 3 Trillion dollar tax break for the middle class....why is it fair they get an extension and not high earners. It is real simple, we should cut spending by the Govt and give everyone an extension. I hope that the Repubs have the guts to filllibuster this...

That, and please keep in mind that not everyone making more than $250,000/year got $9 Billion in bonuses. In fact very few did, just Obama's Wall Street buddies that he was paying back for their extremely generous campaign donations.

Sadly, true.

It should come as no surprise, though, they've deliberately oppressed and used the poor for decades.

Default a silly 2%

Only two percent to have their taxes raised?

Sounds as if holding out because of measley 2% is a simple political strategy.

Oops, that is until you realize that 2% pays 40% of the total collected in taxes.

That 2% should be encouraged and cultivated not dismissed as insignificant. If per centages were the bais of decisions Obamacare should not have passed for all the damage it will do to the many for the sake of the few.

Don't let per centages fool you.

We have a President of the United States who openly referred to us as his enemies during the recent campaign just because we oppose his policies. He also said we needed to be punished for this transgression. That really sums up what we are facing.

Another example of symbolism over substance for the Democrats.. They are more anxious to try to pass a bill they know wont pass instead of working on a bill that will.. Yeah, you keep that thumbs up because I prefer results, not someone moving their lips with no results..
