13. Repugs are lying again

Don't trust them. Every one of them is still saying no tax hikes on rich folks. Yeah, they want to end deductions, but only those for the middle and lower class. Not a single one of them is saying they will increase rates and they are all still mouthing that nonsense about "can't hurt job creators". What rot. Where are the jobs now?

This is just smoke and mirrors because they lost big. They still want exactly the same things and are still willing to ruin the country economically to get their hands on our $$ and take it from us. They've hated Medicare and Social Security since day 1 and still firmly in that same mind frame. Let us go over the cliff (stupid analogy though this is), let the tax rates rise and defense be cut then put forth a motion to lower taxes on middle class, no debate allowed, and see if the Repugs will vote against that.
