CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - More Democrats break with Obama on tax cuts « - Blogs from CNN.com
Washington (CNN) – Thirty-one House Democrats, most of whom face tough re-election bids this fall, have signed a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer urging them to extend expiring tax breaks for all income levels, including the wealthy.
14 trillion dollars now, right? We can't have our cake and eat it to...we are gonna have to start forking out the dough eventually.
And what do families do?
Cut spending.
JFK said it well... for a robust recovery we need to reduce taxes to increase government revenue.
You can't kill the golden geese and expect them to keep laying eggs.

A member of the Democratic Party, Kennedy won election to the House of Representatives in 1946. Over the next couple of years he established himself as a loyal supporter of Harry S. Truman. In Congress he advocated progressive taxation, the extension of social welfare and more low-cost public housing. He was also a leading opponent of the Taft-Hartley Bill.

Kennedy was a strong advocate of social welfare and civil rights legislation in the Senate. Kennedy also sponsored bills for providing Federal financial aid to education, liberalizing United States immigration laws and a measure that required full disclosure of all employee pension and welfare funds.
If the Democrats fold and give in to the Republican tactics of more tax breaks for the wealthiest....then the Democrats deserve to lose not only the house, but the Senate as well.

Because the successful people MUST BE PUNISHED!
pelosi apparently disagrees
Its not punishment...its the price of doing business in this country. If you want to profit from the opportunities and resources that this country offers, you have to pay back into the system..it doesn't come for free.
We're pissed. Americans, even though they likely don't know the term "Keynesian" economics, understand inherently that you can't spend your way out of debt. I mean, you can't do that in your personal life, so how in the world could a government do it? Both Democrats and Republicans are using this approach, and people are sick of it.
And just how much is enough?
Geez, they already employ the country. Without these wealthy people, we'd be living in the Congo.

The facts are if we continue these tax cuts we will be living in the Congo. The Bush tax cuts have been in effect for almost 10 years and look where it has gotten us.
On Pelosi...

You say that, as if doing business in America is already free.
