Reply #1: He won folks who would be paying 15% in taxes starting January, 5% off that bill..... [View All]

and he won 13 months of unemployment extension, when the Senate Democrats couldn't even get 7 months passed.

He got us a payroll tax discount, and odd thing is that folks liked the payroll tax holiday proposal earlier this year, but hate a 2% reduction now--figures.

The zero estate tax went from zero to 35%, and there's some additional business asset write offs for small business.


But everyone is mad, cause everyone's priority is the top two percent and what they'll get. That's our concern!!! Not what we got, but that someone else is gonna still get for two more years.

He should have gotten everything we wanted and then some! What was he thinking???? :crazy:
He should have understood that it was better for him to break his promise of NOT raising taxes on 98% of Americans who make under 250K, an allow everyone's taxes to go up in January if the Repukes didn't play.....so that the rich could be shown what it's like not to have money most won't ever miss, and to reduce a deficit that folks only give a shit about when it's convenient.

So he probably didn't win any votes....not because he shouldn't have,
but because he came across as "uppity in his tone" today when asked why
liberals are questioning whether he has any core values. Plus he compromised,
right before Christmas....and he should have waited till after Christmas! :mad:
