The Saturday before the Bush tax breaks were extended, we offered a million dollar net taxable income threshold, and they were willing to shut down the government before comprising. Only 99.77 percent of the citizens would be affected by this. So we are being ruled by billionaire tyrants who sent our jobs to China. I love local Republicans, but we are in blissful deception. This is the reason Rep. Boehner cries all of the time, because 99.77 percent of us hate what he is doing– taking from the poor and giving to the rich.
