WHY are the Republicans SO AGAINST giving a tax cut to the middle class?

they're selfish and don't want to make Obama look good,but Democrats are educated enough now to see through that.

Hey moron twins,
It's called the BUSH TAX CUT, remember?
Duuuuuuhhh!

rdgrnr,yes oh great one,how many times do we have to say it,"it didn't work then and it will not work now."
trickle down trickles to the wealthy,then it stops!

The Bush tax cuts worked GREAT for the top 95% of wage earners.
The person making 30k per year might get $5 extra per week.
The Obama payroll tax cut (FICA)was much better for the bottom 95%!

The trickle down policies of the Republican and Conservative politicians going back to their Patron Saint Ronnie of Reagan has did nothing but Cascade UP to their base,THE RICH!
They have done well over the last 30+ years with their incomes skyrocketing up while everyone else's income levels stagnated in the same time and barely kept up,if at all,with inflation.

something has to be done about these ceo's of companys getting severance,pay,10-30million packages.the companies go down and they get paid huge money,and stock holders hold nothing but the bag!
makes them want the company to fail,is this america!

You mean like Solyndra, dorkio?
Obama gave 'em $540 million dollars of our money and then when they went bankrupt a year later he gave all the top executives big ass bonuses with our money.
Is that what you're talking about?
