Obama pushed Congress today to come to a long-term agreement and not "kick the can down the road". The agreement must also include tax increases. This is a welcome change to me. Obama is pushing back against the corporate led GOP and actually saying he will not budge on tax increases. John McCain said recently that the American people voted in 2010 based on the GOP promise that taxes will not be increased. However, polls show most Americans are willing to raise taxes on the rich.
Obama should keep pushing hard and expose the GOP as the Guarantors of Poverty. They do not fight for the middle class or poor Americans. They always come down on the side of the powerful and rich. They do this by supporting policies such as making it harder to sue for a redress of grievances in businesses, making it harder to sue a doctor that was negligent, reducing workplace safety regulations, getting rid of minimum wage laws, the list goes on. Hopefully the American people can see as the result of these negotiations where the real priorities of the parties lays.
