Double talking douche bags, only the rich deserve tax breaks... err I mean JOB CREATORS, what a bunch of BS.

Impossible, right? GOP lawmakers are so virulently anti-tax, surely they will fight to prevent a payroll tax increase on virtually every wage-earner starting Jan. 1, right?

Apparently not.

Many of the same Republicans who fought hammer-and-tong to keep the George W. Bush-era income tax cuts from expiring on schedule are now saying a different “temporary” tax cut should end as planned. By their own definition, that amounts to a tax increase.

The tax break extension they oppose is sought by President Barack Obama. Unlike proposed changes in the income tax, this policy helps the 46 percent of all Americans who owe no federal income taxes but who pay a “payroll tax” on practically every dime they earn. If the lower earning members of our society do not have spending money how is the economy supposed to improve? I guess if Obama is for it, logic dictates the ReTHUGlicans are against it, no matter what they said earlier.
