re: #161 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Ayep. But they won’t admit to that, because that would mean they’re violating their own pledge not to raise taxes. So, instead, they’re trying to argue that a tax increase isn’t really a tax increase when it falls on the poor and working class.

My guess? Between now and January, when the cuts expire, look for the GOP to try to lump them together with yet another extension of the Bush Tax Cuts, declaring that if the poor can’t handle a tax increase, neither can the rich.

You are correct that Fox is in full hate the poor class warfare mode, but those taxes are taken out of everyone’s paycheck - right there for all to see. Of course those people are paying taxes.

On the other hand… why isn’t GE or the Oil industry paying taxes by their same metric?
