That logic doesn't work? I guess not when your sole intention is to place blame on someone else. But anyone thinking clearly, should be able to see the blame belongs clearing on Democrats shoulders.
you want added tax revenue....... allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire would have done that .... do you agree ... or disagree?
At the time they were set to expire, the Dem's controlled everything, the house, senate, and the white house. No debate there .. that's fact
No vote was needed for the cuts to expire, and there was nothing every republican in the entire world, could have done to stop them from expiring. that is another fact you can't dispute.
It was the Dem's and the Dem's alone that moved to bring about a vote on extending them.
Then 7 months later .. we have liberals like yourself .. coming around blaming Republicans for being against raising taxes ... and you say that's not logical ??
The logic that doesn't work is that you think because they didn't allow them to expire shows that the revenue wasn't needed. No, there are often several reasons for something, and you cannot ignore the polticial. I don't agree with what democrats did, or more rightly didn't do, but let's not pretend it was because we didn't need the revenue.
BTW, aren't you the only one in this conversation trying to place blame?
