GOP Needs to Stand Tall, Call Obama’s Bluff & Let All Bush Tax Cuts Expire Tue Dec 4

Crystal Wright

President Obama’s offer to Republicans to save the country from its fiscal cliff plunge is one big joke. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he “laughed” when Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, Obama’s cliff negotiator, unveiled it to him. Laughable is right when you consider the president’s outlandish request calls for tax hikes on higher earners, the one thing Republicans repeatedly have warned Obama, since day one of his presidency, were non-starters to any budget or deficit reduction talks. ... more
Stupid is, As Stupid Does Mon Nov 26

Wayne Allyn Root

Can the GOP really be this stupid? It appears many in the GOP Congress are suddenly willing to raise taxes. What utter fools. As Forest Gump's mother (played by Sally Field) said, "Stupid is, as stupid does." And this is world-class stupid. If GOP politicians can't figure out any good arguments to oppose tax increases, I’ll give them a few. ... more
The Best Solution Mon Nov 19

Tim Phillips

During last Wednesday’s news conference, President Obama offered his plan for dealing with the looming fiscal cliff and expiring tax cuts.

Dan Holler

“Mr. President, on the fiscal cliff, two years ago, sir, you said that you wouldn’t extend the Bush-era tax cuts, but at the end of the day, you did. So, respectfully, sir, why should the American people and the Republicans believe that you won’t cave again this time?” ... more
Scrub Out the Tax Preferences, Broaden the Base, Lower the Rates and Watch this Economy Take Off Wed Nov 14

Donald Lambro

Before the election ballots were fully counted last week, equity markets were sending President Obama a blunt vote of no confidence. Forget all the political pundits who were heralding his narrow popular vote victory as a mandate for his soak-the-rich tax agenda. The sour message from the investment community that fuels our economy spoke volumes about a fundamentally status quo election. ... more
HARDENING POSITIONS ON TAX POLICY SUGGEST HARD TIMES AHEAD Fri Oct 12

Donald Lambro

WASHINGTON -- No other issue is paralyzing the U.S. economy more than the unsettled question of where taxes are headed in the years to come.That question, raised by a tidal wave of expiring tax cuts that will hit most of us on Jan. 1, is the chief cause of the uncertainty that has swept through our economy, stalling business expansion, capital investment and job creation. ... more
