In reply to the discussion: John Boehner: GOP Won't Agree To Raise Taxes On Wealthy, Even If Obama Wins Reelection [View all]phascismisphun
(5 posts)58. This will work for him
The Bush/Obama Tax Cut, yes Obama OWNS part of it now when he caved in to them a few years back and extened them, will expire and the GOP will turn around and blame the black guy for raising thier taxes. Now all the GOP has to do is obstruct for 2-4 years and they get a GOP sweep in 16.
In the unlikely event the GOP has a few problems with obstruction the Koch brothers and their ilk will be more then happy to buy a few more of the DINO's that currently have a (D) after thier name who can ALWAYS be counted on to protect the 1%.

I'm far from wealthy, but I'll gladly pay more taxes so that we can pay down our debt.

In 2 years you will be out of a job John. But you don't have to worry about being in the 47% crowd.
