Last Winter's history contradicts that assertion: Almost all Democrats in Congress followed President Obama's lead and voted to NOT keep the Bush tax cuts for the Very Rich 2% of Americans, but voted to RENEW the tax cuts for the lower income 98% of Americans. Virtually NO Republicans would allow this, and vowed that either the Very Rich got their tax cuts or NOBODY got tax cuts, and SWORE that they would shut down the government instead. President Obama was very aware that the entire economy was still on the precipice of falling into another Great Depression, and he caved in to the Republicans. To repeat: the Democrats tried to give tax breaks to 98% of taxpayers; the Republicans BLOCKED that unless the Very Rich 2% got their tax breaks. The Democrats were prevented from their long-term effort at ending the "uber-rich" tax cuts..........................elsullo
You mean they performed a dog and pony show for your viewing pleasure and then what was always going to happen which is to help out only the uber wealthy is what happened. They get to tell "Elsullo" "sorry man we tried" and they again help out the people who have bought and paid for them.
Don't be fooled by political theater, the game is fixed.
Stop listening to words and start looking at the bottom line!
