We all heard Boehner saying that raising taxes on $200K / $250K and higher would hurt small businesses and that and wanting cuts in spending has been Boehners main reason for not agreeing to the expiration of the Bush tax cuts.

Businesses hire to keep up with increasing demand for goods or services. Tax rates are not a driving factor, unless the CEO is a complete moron. A boss who chooses not to hire because of taxes does his competition a favor, because they are ready and willing to take on all the business he doesn't want.

Good try, but not a word of truth in it.

Boehner and the Regressives continue to represent utter stupidity here, and are completely in the wrong. Boehner the dumbest Speaker in history, no question.

The lesson you Pubs refuse to acknowledge is that TRICKLE DOWN DOES NOT WORK.

A default hurts Republicans, who continue to work hard to benefit the most privileged, while everyone else goes to hell.

Let's go back to this thread's topic:

Boehner's Plan B was rejected by Republicans. This thread is defunked.

the tax credits will all expire. Then the Obama tax cuts will be proposed and passed with the new Congress. Boner will loose his role as majority leader. The Right has the option of passing Obama's cuts or being destroyed in 2014. they have no negotiation room and nothing to stand on. They may take us to the cliff but we will gladly watch them get pushed off. Little will happen.

Seniors will not stand for a trillion in tax cuts.

The rights suggestions are so bad they filibuster themselves.

They have no ideas, and America have had their fill of their inaction. It was not acceptable to spend 2 years of tax payer money to make it your job to make Obama a 1 term president. They have accomplished nothing and it is coming home to roost.
