It fhe corporados keep their tax cuts for "two years"...does ANYONE think they'll EVER lose them?

Poll question: It fhe corporados keep their tax cuts for "two years"...does ANYONE think they'll EVER lose them?

Can't we assume that our party's "leaders" will ALWAYS be too gutless to do what's right if they cave THIS time?

1. If they wont lose them while every fool in government screams "DEFICIT!"

They will never lose them.

2. Too many other things to cut...

unemployment, Social Security, federal employees, etc,,,,:banghead:

3. two years will get them over the hump until Obama is out of office

unless he changes course and starts acting like the president.

4. Well, I never say never

but I know two more years of feeding frenzy will leave them even more powerful than they are now.

If Obama doesn't veto a two year extension or any extension of tax breaks to the rich and corporate, I'll spend my time until 2012 supporting anyone who will challenge him in the primary.

Enough.

5. They wouldn't even notice if they had to pay more taxes.

6. Sure. The reason Obama prefers all the tax cuts to losing the middle class tax cuts is only because

of the economy. When the economy gets better, it would be much easier to revert to Clinton rates without too much damage.

7. What you're forgetting is, with all the tax cuts in place, if the economy improves by the election

The GOP will win in a landslide because they'll argue that the tax cuts are what caused the recovery. And the prez won't call them on that bullshit, because he NEVER calls the right on their bullshit and never stands up to them.

It's not even clear anymore that he actually wants to stop conservatism. You could make a strong case that he'd be more comfortable being the liberal figurehead on a center-right national unity government.

8. No way. If the economy improves by the election, Obama will win in a landslide. Most people have no

idea that the GOP will control Congress in the first place, let alone anything about the Bush tax cuts.
