See, Republicans take credit for everything but responsibility for nothing. They don't stand for anything and no one asks then to, especially their dimwitted voters.
I think Democrats would gladly own the raising of the taxes on the rich. Right back to Clinton era rates, and with out raising taxes on poor or middle class. It's a win, win. ...and closing some loopholes for the rich that let them dodge taxes and get tax breaks on their Private Jets.The fact of the matter is that raising taxes on the rich the Clifton levels does not hurt our economy one bit. Republicans have been spewing that lie for far to long.
The problem Republicans have is their feet are stuck in the pit of hypocritical mud. They talk a big game about reducing spending but they don't reduce any spending when they are in power. They crank it up! They talk about cutting programs that actually help people but wouldn't really make a dent on the deficit if they were cut.
What are Republicans really afraid of? I'll tell you. It's getting what THEY want. Reduced spending, but not the type they want to talk about. The fiscal cliff cuts defense spending by drastic amounts and that's what their really afraid of. The military industrial complex is their "social engineering program" that they won't cut because they are bankrolled by the industry. Republicans have no problem wasting trillions of tax dollars blowing up civilians in foreign countries that did not attack us, or give away the big pharma, but helping the poor or vets get good healthcare when they come home from unnecessary wars is spending too much.
Bankers and baller CEO's are the only people that Republicans really care about.
