GOP To Be Blamed For Plunging Off 'Fiscal Cliff'- 'Confiscating The Wealthy's Money Would Not Save Us'

If Republicans don’t go along with calls by President Obama for higher taxes and the nation goes off a “fiscal cliff,” then the GOP is to blame, says a Democratic congressman.
“We face a fiscal cliff,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., on CNN. “They (Republicans) face a very important question on this fiscal cliff. Are they going to drive off the fiscal cliff with the message that nobody in the country gets tax relief unless very high income earners get a bonus tax break? That’s the message they want to send to the American people. I just think it’s unsustainable.”
Van Hollen is among those who favor tax increases as a way to reduce the national deficit.
“The president’s talked about it, combination of cuts but also revenue,” he said. “And it’s very clear from the exit polling that a majority of Americans recognize that we need to share responsibility in reducing the deficit. That means asking higher income earners to contribute more to reducing the deficit.
“So, that was one of the clear messages that was one of the central themes in this campaign. The president won. And I think it’s important that Republicans on the Hill recognize that the American people have said, balanced approach is necessary, we get our deficit under control.”

America died in 1963; did we all miss the funeral? Our enemies assassinated our president that year, then they took down the USS Liberty in 1967. Another dagger in our heart came in 2001 when they attacked the WTC and they’ve been running America into the ground since then. Strange thing is, they’re still walking free in the halls of Congress. Why they haven’t been arrested yet and charged with treason and ‘hung out to dry’ is beyond me… maybe because they create our laws…? DEM or GOP they’re all the same. They know who they are.
