didn't say I was offended by it

my point, which I stated, was that there wasn't even enough support for them at a time when we had a budget surplus and no wars
and what relevance does that have at all to the letting them expire now and effectively raising taxes while the economy is in the unstable state it is in?

I'm not sure how else to explain it to you

it had tepid support 10 years ago, at a time when we might have been able to afford the lost revenue

there is a popular compromise which I've mentioned a few times which would maintain status quo on taxes for 95% of the tax paying population

do you not understand that at this point in time it is NOT A GOOD IDEA TO RAISE TAXES ON ANYONE?

you seem stuck in the infinite loop of bad republicans and obamas agenda...

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND that right now is not the time or place for either?
