The GOP Position on Taxes Gets Worse

A week ago James Fallows wrote, The GOP Position on Taxes Gets Worse. "According to the AP and Business Insider, Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas (at right), the Republican co-chair of the all-powerful budget Super Committee, is dead set against letting the Bush-era tax cuts expire for anyone, including millionaires. But he sees no problem in letting the current cut in payroll-tax rates -- you know, the main tax burden for most Americans -- run out."

It's really amazing to me how the Republican party is all about getting the poor and middle class to support policies that coddle the rich and hurt themselves.
