54 Democrats tell Pelosi that the Bipartisan GOP-Obama Tax Cut Plan is "Grossly Unfair"Scotty Starnes | December 9, 2010 at 7:47 PM | Tags: Barack Obama, Bush tax cuts, Class Warfare, COLA, Democrats, Obama, President Obama, Republicans, tax hikes | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-3KY |
The tax and spend liberals just can't stand the thought of EVERYONE being treated equally and keeping more of the money they earn. The Dems want to spend and playing the class warfare card isn't working with the voters.
From Politico:
Fifty-four House Democrats sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday saying they're against the White House's proposal to extend Bush-era tax cuts, calling the deal "grossly unfair."
Grossly unfair is how Democrats believe this money is somehow theirs? Grossly unfair is playing the class warfare card and demanding some taxpayers to pay more than others.
The effort, led by Vermont Rep. Peter Welch, throws into question whether the tax compromise can pass as it stands. The majority of House Republicans are expected to support the proposal, meaning the bill needs only a few dozen Democrats to join to secure passage.
Democrats said that Obama "should not back down" from extending the lower- and middle-income cuts while letting those on higher incomes expire on Dec. 31.
"This proposal will hurt, not help, the majority of Americans in the middle class and those working hard to get there," the letter states. "Even as Republicans seek to add billions more to our national debt in tax cuts to the wealthy, they oppose extending unemployment benefits to workers and resist COLA increases to seniors."
Should Democrats in the House fail to pass the legislation before the end of the year, the deal will sour for the White House: The new GOP majority is expected to push for permanent extension of upper-bracket tax rates and oppose an unpaid extension of unemployment insurance.
Yes, Republicans want everyone's tax rates to stay the same while Democrats want to raise everyone's taxes by voting no on the bipartisan bill supported by Obama. Unemployment benefits are doing nothing but making the unemployment situation worse. Ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, on top of another 13 month extension has to be paid by someone.
