because R's still hold the House. Avoids mentioning Obama clearly stated the rich should pay a little more during many of his campaign speeches...and now who is it who was reelected as President, Mr. Speaker?

but we made gains there too. And if we actually campaign in 2014 we'll have more. So since we gained (was it 4 seats?) there is no mandate to do anything Boehner wants to do. In fact they have to conform to what we want.

That shit makes me want to puke

If he was talking about micro business owners, fine. But not today's definition of "small business".
