Chris Wallace surprised me…and I admit that this is indeed hard to do. While interviewing Arizona Senator Kyl on Fox Sunday, Wallace asked him to explain how the Republicans propose to keep the Bush Tax cuts which are due to expire, without paying the approximately 700 Billion Dollar tab…a question which had Senator Kyl clearly stumped. He quickly tried to throw a slider and answered that the question was a loaded one. Chris Wallace then did the most unexpected thing a Republican leaning interviewer will ever do…He pressed on…and asked the question again, putting the Senator on the spot.
I swear I almost choked as I figuratively gasped in surprise and disbelief…
“You should never raise taxes in order to cut taxes,” said the Arizona Senator Kyle, “Surely Congress has the authority, and it would be right to — if we decide we want to cut taxes to spur the economy, not to have to raise taxes in order to offset those costs. You do need to offset the cost of increased spending, and that’s what Republicans object to. But you should never have to offset cost of a deliberate decision to reduce tax rates on Americans.”
This my friends, is the Hypocracy you can expect if we put this gang of con-men who caused this recession, back into power. This is as plain and as simple an example and proof as I can offer…the rest…the job of not voting for these traitorous and unpatriotic bastards…is up to you…
Well, I am going to make a few friends in Canada... I heard Yak/Moose?Bison or whatever meat they have up there tastes really good over a grill...
ReplyDeleteIt's beyond hypocrisy, deceitful nonsense and head-banging stupidity, all rolled into one blather dump.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to know why Wallace pressed Kyl on this. It would be more interesting to know what, if anything, the powers that be at Fox said to Wallace about doing that.
FWIW, Kyl should have to explain how lightening the already too-light tax load on wealthy Americans, many of whom will turn around and put the money in investments in China, Europe, Brazil, etc., will help the U.S. economic situation. It sure as hell won't get the people of those countries to buy more of our exports.

ReplyDeleteNo shit this is my third attempt to comment.
I'm just going to see if this comes through..
Tim, so sorry but this thing has a mind of its own.
ReplyDeleteAll the commenting systems seem to have a mind of their own lately, especially when using a google ID...I'm guessing it's a google burp.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, yeah, ok, so you can cut taxes, but don't dare raise them. That's the republican way - up is down, down is sideways, and the sky is magenta.
