re: #37 Gus 802

This is pathetic. They’d rather cut things like funding for poison control centers rather than end the Bush tax cuts for the top 2 percent earners in this country. I hope those top 2 percent earners are happy with this and the direction the Republican Party is going. They should be ashamed of themselves.

It’s the current triumph of rigid ideology (bordering on religious certainty) over pragmatic problem solving bipartisan politics.

Taxes are no longer just something to be avoided in most cases to the gop, they are evil and can never be raised. Rational debate is thus closed off. If you mention a tax—any tax—then the gop/tp puts its fingers in their ears and screams, “I can’t hear you.” And they used to be the responsible “daddy party.”
