Republicans Haven't Learned Anything!

It might be hard to believe, but Republicans just are not good learners. With the American people demanding higher taxes for the wealthy, John Boehner and his Republican elected members of the House apparently have not gotten the message.

President Obama made an offer to the Republican on how to avoid the fiscal cliff, and Republicans, after quite a delay, have presented their offer.

The Washington Post has the important facts about the GOP offer:

...That framework aims to raise new revenue through an overhaul of the tax code. It also calls for slicing $600 billion from federal health programs, in part by increasing the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67, and saving $200 billion by applying a less-generous measure of inflation to all federal programs, including Social Security benefits, according to GOP aides....

...Republicans say they are willing to extract all the new tax money from households earning more than $250,000 a year, the same group Obama wants to target with higher tax rates. But the GOP plan raises the money by wiping out deductions instead of raising rates...

.....But Democrats said that the proposed cuts to social safety-net programs would outweigh higher taxes. And they said Republicans had yet to make clear how they would raise the additional tax revenue without imposing new burdens on the middle class.....

Republicans just don't give a s*** about the American middle class. It is very disgusting that Republicans are more interested in protecting the rich over the elderly and the middle class.
