I have to applaud Obama on this one for putting his foot down against the GOP thugs to end the horrific Bush tax cuts to the rich, which was one of the main reasons that Bush and the GOP led the nation into disaster.
Let's hope he stays strong and doesn't give an inch to the GOP goons

"President Obama has been clear about his position and it has not changed," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters traveling with Obama to California. "We should not extend and he will not extend the ... Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest two percent of the American people."

I cannot believe that Republicans have absolutely screwed 99% of Americans for the past 10 years and their working class base is perfectly okay with it.

It makes sense to not extend them for the upper 2%, whether he wins in Nov or not.

Very true. It's a very bizarre mindset that they full support and cheerlead the destruction of themselves from their GOP masters.

The tax cuts were for everybody - unless you were among the nearly half of Americans who don't even pay taxes.

Care to explain how the tax cuts caused the nation to go "into disaster"?

Or have you just been listening to the liberal mouthpieces and are regurgitating the drivel that they feed you?
