    I thought democrats wanted to raise revenue?

    What happened? How come you suddenly wanna cut taxes?

    Is a year too much to ask? Do you want these battles every two months?

    Maybe democrats should focus on whats best for America, instead of whats best for themselves???

    but thats prolly too much to ask....

    PS there will be no federal sales tax.

    House Republicans already passed a bill that extended the Payroll Tax Cut......

    House GOP Passes Payroll Tax Cut Bill Obama Has Threatened To Veto

    ....why didnt Harry Reid and Obama pass it? Is it because Democrats hate da poor and middle class? Isnt that why Democrats created this 15% Payroll Tax on da Poor and Middle Class to begin with?

    Why only 2 months?Why wont the Dems agree to extend them for a year?How am I,doing payroll going to be certain that after the 2 month extension that they will be extended again?
    Did you Libs even consider this uncertainty it would cause with employers??
    Another example of "kick the can down the road" by the Progressive Dems.Just like they do with the funding of the Government,just like they do with the debt ceiling.And like always,the Libs cry and blame the Tea Party.
    Oh,and its going on 950 days since the Dems passed a budget.

    Are you related to Don? You also have a knack for cherry picking. Perhaps you should have seen this as reason why it failed?

    Thank the Democrats for wanting to extend your payroll tax cut JUST 2 months. The Republicans are fighting to get you a full YEAR of tax relief. Awfully ungrateful post.

    great,now the class warfare begins.
    Income inequality crap again.
    Go write a letter to Obama.He has no problem giving money to GE,failed solar companies,off shore oil companies and Wall Street instead of "redistributing" it to the poor.I thought he was going to be the CHAMPION of the poor?Only the "po" are now POORER under him.
    He ran on "Hope".Wheres that HOPE at,Libs??
    You got DUPED,hoodwinked,SUCKERED.

    The left handed arent concerned with a successful America for all, They concerned with whats best for themselves, and their willing to lie to fill their pockets with someone elses money...

    Lets take a look...

    Sure. Make the military a quarter of what it is and that's a good start.

    What else are the Republicans fighting for? Seems like a key component you left out of your post.

    I don't understand, did you not read my quote from your article in my previous post or are you choosing to just disregard it?

    Not true. Their $100 steak meal would bring us $10 in tax revenue as opposed to my $4 Taco Bell combo.

    Their $300,000 Ferrari would bring in $30k in tax revenue.

    Etc.

    If they don't spend money though, and miserly sit on it, what do you care how much they have?

    Do you support extending the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits for another year?

    ........House Republicans did too.

    Then why do you wanna take money from social security when we know its not gonna have enough money soon?

    Silly Leftys think money grows on trees.... It has to be earned, and that means work...

    So now we're discussing sales tax? An ~4% sales tax increase would hurt millions of Americans and families who live from paycheck to paycheck.
