Lower Taxes! Republican Fail Yet Again

Obama wants to balance the books and so far has received ZERO help from REpublicans. Keep that in mind, the Republicans don't want to work to save America, they only want to make the rich richer. Now, it's not just them, Obama was supposed to be the impetus to change in the US but he lost most opportunities to stamp out status quo. Regardless, when it comes to increasing taxes on the very very rich, only the top 5%, ALL Republicans are up in arms. I get the fact Republicans are all about less govt and more business (personal wealth), but is that sustainable? Can we really support a country that relies on China for debt obligations? Can we really support 50% of GDP going to military (maybe it's not that high)? I get the idea that taxing those who are creating jobs doesn't help things, but you have to get the money from somewhere. Is the govt' better? Probably not. But last I checked there's no new jobs being created, but financial execs are getting their hundreds of millions for short term profts and not long term sustainability. the question will Joe Schmoe give a damn and vote? Republicans seem to be spinning their position largely based on, get this, fear. Either fear of terrorism or more than likely the fear of economy. Forget the fact the mess is mostly a Republican problem and their interest in helping only the wealthy (every meet a REpublican politician who gave a damn about the poor more than the rich? it's been a while), they'll leverage the economic problem for political gain. Uninformed Americans will flock to polls in an effort to save their country at the hands of the socialists/fascists/liberals/communists. (FYI, if you're Republican, first come up with a coherent argument, and then come up with just one label, of which none of the aforementioned ones apply.)
