GOP had ample opportunity to cut spending to make room for a permanent AMT fix, and instead they exploded it. Less taxes under GOP means more debt, and more debt means less freedom, not more.
You can repeat your rightwing cliches till the cows come home, GOP had a chance to do things its way. We saw the results from 2002-2006. The American people don't want it anymore. That party simply cannot govern, and should not be trusted with governing. As such, I will stick with the Democrats on AMT. They are right, if you want a tax cut, you need to make choices, not put it on the tab for future generations to pay off.
Is this all you can come up with? The GOP were big spenders so it is now our time in the Sun to repeat the same mistakes?
Brilliant logic.
I am sure you will stick with the Dems on this topic as you do with any of their stances. Being a mouthpiece of a party doesnt make you enlightened. It makes you a shill.
You calling me a shill? That's precious coming from a guy who shilled for the GOP while it screwed up everything it touched. Bottom line is, you want AMT tax cut, raise another tax or cut spending to offset it. Want to end Iraq war for that AMT tax? That will pay for it.
Yes I am calling you a shill.
Yes I want a tax fixed because it was
never designed to do more than close a loophole for a few hundred extremely wealthy families. But as usual when you let a politician have the power he will let such a tax linger and hit millions of households it should never hit.
Only a shill would think such an idea is fine. Anybody else with a pulse and the most basic of reading comprehension understands why this tax needs to repealed and re written so it hits the people it is supposed to hit. Then index the damn thing with inflation so it
never touches classes of people it shouldnt.
The Dems surely can find somewhere in that monstrousity of a 3 trillion dollar budget to cut out the difference. If it is the Iraq war, so be it. But do it and stop oppressing people with this tax who should never be burdened.
