Not nonsense at all. If the GOP cared at all about anyone other than their "base", then why would they not agree to the extension of the cuts for the 98% unless the 2% are given tax cuts? The reality is...the GOP is willing to hold the 98% hostage in order to get tax cuts for the wealthiest....call it whatever you want....but it is what it is.
You know what? How about you talk about this in terms of reality...instead of in terms of spin.
Current tax rates have been in effect...what?...10 years? Any action this year will not be cutting taxes for anyone. At best, taxes can only stay the same. The Republicans only want to keep taxes at their current level...not cut taxes for anyone.
