re: #148 HoosierHoops

Hey Ludwig..Haven’t seen any bills proposed by the GOP raising taxes on poor people…Do you have more details on this?

They’re not proposing a tax increase, but instead opposing the extension of payroll tax cuts that were part of the Bush Tax Cut extension. Their argument, as of right now, is that the payroll tax cuts offer no “benefit,” so being allowed to eclipse is acceptable. They’re actively trying to sidestep their own argument that allowing any tax cuts to expire qualifies as a “tax increase.”

Grover Norquist has yet to weigh in, but I’m sure he’ll be okay with the idea. *rolls eyes*
