    That idiots would say what you just said. There is HUGE problem with Obama's policy, to say it's all obstruction is just beyond idiotic. What are you brain washed? Don't you see the complaints? It's not just about his party, it's about his policy and idiocy and hostility towards the country.

    You mean if the Bush tax cuts are allowed to continue in the future?

    They'll complain that they can't figure out how come the federal deficit won't go away.

    Anyone can figure out that the ONLY way the federal deficit will be bridged is that you have to cut spending AND raise revenues (i.e. taxes). Anyone telling you anything different is blowing smoke up your ***.

    Note: You can blame George Bush for turning budget SURPLUSES into budget DEFICITS. You do not cut taxes AND start TWO wars that go on for 10 years. This is where our problems started.

    For starters, why extend them? Why not just leave the tax rates at their current levels?

    Hey! If Obama were to do that he could take credit for giving Americans a tax cut!!! Woo-hoo!!

    Last December Obama said raising taxes on anyone in a recession is a bad idea. Then Dems extended the tax cuts.

    So why now is he constantly calling to raise taxes on small businesses and couples making more than $250,000?

    He did extend the Bush Tax Cuts. Why is it hypothetical?

    He did extend the Bush Tax Cuts, saying "this is not the time, in this economy. to raise taxes on any American". That was when the economy was growing at a 2.1% rate, it now is at a near zero growth rate.

    He already did. If Obama cut taxes in half, the right would demand he cut the other half.

    They already are and their complaint is now that so many poor people don't pay taxes.

    Because apparently excise taxes on tobacco, alcohol, guns, gasoline, telephone service, cable, electronics...

    Tariffs on televisions, clocks, steel, lettuce....

    only count as taxes when rich people have to pay them. When poor people pay them its called a free-ride at fat illiterate white people's expense.

    Bedwetting conservatives will whine that Obama is a tool of "Wall Street" or "wealthy blue state elites", or some other nonsense.
