[QUOTE=person11;37736405]What else can they do as a Minority party in Congress? I'm sure the Republicans would spin it negatively if the Denocrats didn't play along.[/QUOTE] They [B]DID[/B] say that the bill was[I] IN THEORY[/I] fine, except the name of it. So they're disagreeing with it as much as they could without looking like the bogeyman to the general public.
[QUOTE=person11;37736405]What else can they do as a Minority party in Congress? I'm sure the Republicans would spin it negatively if the Denocrats didn't play along.[/QUOTE] Republicans were never quiet when they were the minority. Do Democrats simply have no back bone?
[QUOTE=Ast_risk;37731012]Will it still be all-you-can-eat?[/QUOTE] More like all-you-can-pay.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;37731107]It's not that they can choose to pay nothing or something. They choose to pay [B]MORE[/B] in their taxes. [B]A bonus to what they already owe.[/B] And, this is an excellent way to see which rich actually support Buffett and who are just blowing hot air to appease the masses.[/QUOTE] I think he's talking about being taxed too much. It's really fun being able to scrape by on bare minimums of everything, living on TV Dinners and Ramen + Water out of the tap when it doesn't get cut off in November because you couldn't afford to pay a bill on time because your kid had strep throat the previous week and needed a doctor's note or else he'd have one too many unexcused absences and thus having his entire semester's credit taken away forcing him to repeat the grade because summer school doesn't give enough credits to make up an entire semester, AND still having to pay too much in taxes for what he's earning I personally think people like Buffet, Gates, maybe a few others may use it, but I bet you no politician or 'average joe' of the rich will use it, unless they plan on running for president in 4 years, and then they'll use it in their campaign
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;37736516]Republicans were never quiet when they were the minority. Do Democrats simply have no back bone?[/QUOTE] They don't. That's why I registered Indepedent. I agree with Democrats & support Obama, but I don't like how they act in some cases. Like voting in this fake Buffet rule & re-adding God & Israel to their platform, etc.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;37736516]Republicans were never quiet when they were the minority. Do Democrats simply have no back bone?[/QUOTE] They sure are good at pretending they don't.
