"ONE: HOLD YOUR GROUND.

TWO: NO DEAL IS BETTER THAN A BAD DEAL.

THREE: MAKE REPUBLICANS VOTE ON EXTENDING THE TAX CUTS JUST FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS.

FOUR: DEMAND HIGHER TAX RATES ON WEALTHY, NOT JUST LIMITS ON DEDUCTIONS.

FIVE: DON’T CUT SAFETY NETS.

SIX: DON’T CUT INVESTMENTS IN OUR FUTURE PRODUCTIVITY.

SEVEN: CUT SPENDING ON MILITARY AND CORPORATE WELFARE.

EIGHT: PUT JOBS BEFORE DEFICIT REDUCTION."

1. GOP Must Play Ball

[grahamhgreen]

2. And they will. They are RW authoritarians - they need to be TOLD what to do by

an authority figure, and then, they will do it.

It's how they operate psychologically.

3. Remember jobs come first...

AND there is no evidence, zip, zero, zippo, zets, zilch, nil, nix, nada, null, naught, that low tax rates for the rich help create jobs...but lots of historical evidence to the contrary.
