It's time to pull out some whoop ass on Boehner and the Republicans.

Speaker John Boehner had the gall to say that raising taxes would be "stealing" from the American people. The truth of the matter is that he and his billionaire friends have been stealing from Americans for over 30 years. When they stopped giving their employees raises tied to their production, they were stealing from them. When they bought politicians like Boehner to create tax loopholes so they would not have to pay a fair share of taxes, they were stealing from the American people. When they cut programs that help people, they are stealing from those people.

They have been doing this for over 30 years and it is time for them to pay back to the people some of the wealth they have stolen. It is they that are the thieves. The people of this country are the victims of John Boehner and his Republican friends.
