This pretty much proves it. The Republicans are backed by corporate interests who seek to empower the wealthiest of Americans and the corporate elite, and make everyone else pay for their largesse in the process.

The only thing it proves is that politicians will by and large renege on promises to fuel their insatiable desire to fund unchecked spending. Your much loved Democrats by no means get a free pass on their actions with regard to either taxation or fiscal discipline.

So it was smart to cut back payroll taxes when the programs funded by payroll taxes are in need of more funding and/or benefit cuts? I don't think so. This is one step towards stopping the fiscal insanity running rampant in Washington. It's got nothing to do with the fact that Republicans are the pro-prosperity party.
We can cut programs, raise taxes, or a combination, but the last poster is correct..we can't have it both ways. And if taxes are raised, it should not be class warfare, but across the board.
Its hypocritical to hate the Bush tax cuts, but want them kept for the <250k crowd, of which I belong.

I think people who are earning 7 figures are in a better position to absorb the costs of tax increases than someone who's living close to the poverty line and barely has any money left after once bills are paid. If anyone needs a tax break, it would be the guy with barely enough money to get by.
It's not just a matter of fairness; it's a matter of economics. The less money he has to spend....then the less money he has to spend. That's not going to help small businesses much, either.
