Republicans do not want to raise taxes on the rich. By stalling, they will, in fact, raise taxes on everybody. Please explain the logic on that!

Democrats don't want to raise taxes on the middle class.

By stalling, they will, in fact, raise taxes on the middle class.

Please explain the logic on that!

So the way I see it, the (D)s want us to either raise taxes or raise other taxes.

Gee, I wonder why the (R)s are having a problem with the negotiations.

That's what happens when you win elections, you push your agenda.

There is a bill on Harry Reid's desk right now extends all the Bush tax cuts.

But the (D)s have such a hatred for successful people, they won't address anything that does not raise taxes. NO MATTER WHAT!

Obama says he wants to keep taxes for the poor and middle class the same. By stalling, he will, in fact, raise taxes on everybody. Please explain the logic on that!

LOL - Plan B gave the D'bags (Democrats) a chance to put their money where their mouths are; raising them on a million and up, but Reid said he would consider the bill when it passes, so it was scrapped, and Reid is sitting on a stack of bills he won't even consider; holding up the recovery, moron.

How many House Republicans voted for Boehner's Plan B?
Oh,that's right. They walked out before voting on it!

It was dropped while it was in process, right after Reid came out publicly saying he wouldn't consider it. It never went for a vote, so YOU do not know. Just because the media says, moron.

...obamaphones and Bengazi.

UPDATE: Senator Harry Reid appeared on the floor of the Senate this evening announcing that there would be no vote tonight. He said that they will reconvene Monday morning at 11am. “There’s still significant distance between the two sides, but negotiations continue,” Reid said. “There’s still time left to reach an agreement, and we intend to continue negotiations.” With only one day left of the year, it is looking like a very slim chance the two sides can come together to reach a fiscal cliff deal.

UPDATE: Republicans have taken the CPI off the table in an effort to help negotiations....
