Why do the dems want a 2 month tax cut if they're supposed to be the champions of the 99%?

I wish they ended the tax break.

Why are right winger such dead beats?

Obama proposed the yearlong extension. Are you calling him a deadbeat?

Is the two month tax cut for working people tied with a whole year of more unemployment handouts for non-working people?

the reason is simple, the democrats can now hammer the republicans by claiming that they are against tax cuts for the middle class, even though the house passed a bill that would extend the tax cuts for a full year. its all politics on both sides.

I think Obama is a stupid and worthless as any Republican with the exception of a handful of Ron Paul types.
