why not? this thing is pointless. they have an all or nothing approach, as axelrod say. they have no intention to get it passed. they re not going to be willing to compromise. take credit for revenues, things that we already cut back on, that was planned on. what they re really doing, they re going to be stifling the economy because they re discouraging investors. at this point, no on raising taxes. eric: we call it class war fair, thoswarfare, those on. obama disagrees with us. take a listen. either we ask the wealthiest americans to pay their fair share in taxes or ask the seniors to pay more for medicare. we can t afford to do both. either gut education or reform the tax code so profitable corporations give up the tax loopholes that other companies don t get. we can t afford to do both. this is not class warfare.
