For the GOP, if you're not making $250,000, screw you. Strange that it sounds like the Republican party might have an small internal conflict on the issue. It's an interesting approach for the midterm elections so let's see how that floats with the public who support increasing taxes on the richest 2%. Right about now would be the time for Obama to go for the jugular and drive a larger wedge within the GOP. Let's hope he finds it in him to continue his recent (good) attacks against the obstructionist Republicans.
Senate Republicans have enough votes to block President Barack Obama's plan to extend tax cuts for the middle class while allowing those for the rich to expire, a spokesman for the Senate Republican leader said Monday.
Republicans Monday scrambled to regroup on the tax issue ahead of Nov. 2 congressional elections after House Republican Leader John Boehner appeared to open the door for a possible compromise.
Don Stewart, spokesman for Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, said Senate Republicans are united on the issue. "There are no Republicans who support a tax hike," he said.
