They will figure out a way to drag a tax cut for the wealthy into anything proposed after the first of the year. They'll just refuse to vote on anything that doesn't include the continuation of the full Bush tax cuts, and then blame democrats for increasing taxes, blah, blah, blah. We've been down this road before. Have they EVER done anything to lead anyone to believe they can be trusted now? This is like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. The Democrats, or at least the Obama campaign, seems to have finally started putting a spine together...it's not complete yet obviously, as this proposed end run shows, but it's on it's way. They should just keep hammering on this, introducing bills that will maintain the tax cuts for the 98%, and make the damn rethugs either filibuster or vote against it. And then let them go home to their constituents over the holiday and explain to them why they're going to get a big hit in their paychecks after the first of the year. The democrats need to get out in front of this and make the republican party OWN this bullshit. They need to get in front of the cameras every day and keep hammering home that THEY are trying to make sure 98% of us will continue to pay lower taxes, but the republicans are more concerned about cow-tailing to Grover Norquist than working to help the American people. Unless there is a massive wave in November that gets rid of a huge number of the republicans now in office, nothing will change. They CAN NOT be trusted, and will not work to make anything better for working class Americans. Fuck 'em. The democrats need to stop playing nice and go for the damn jugular.
