Obama Blasts Boehner On Bush Failed Tax Cuts

Boehner wants more failed tax cuts for the mega-wealthy. The President calls him out:

"Let me be clear to Mr. Boehner and everyone else. We should not hold middle class tax cuts hostage any longer. [The administration] is ready this week to give tax cuts to every American making $250,000 or less" - President Barack Obama

Extending Bush-era tax cuts is extending failure. They are set, by law, to expire. Follow the law. Boehner advocating the same failed philosophies of Bush fail to mention the cost. What cost? The cost to every family in America and the next generation who will have to pay for the debt incurred through these lost taxes.

Wake up, people! The costs of running the Government are not going away. We are making the middle classes assume more and more of the burdens while giving the richest, most well off families tax break after tax break.

The rich have better PR, I get it. They have a 24/7 cable news channel. But common sense and decency has to enter the debate at some point.

We don't have to think alike, but we have to think together.
