Boehner responds to Dems’ GOP portrayal as party of the wealthy [VIDEO]

Just a question to test for hypocrisy here ....
Would Republicans go for a tax cut on wages, balanced with an exactly balanced tax increase of the 1%er's capital gains? (now at 12%) This is Trickle Up economics: wage earners would immediately use the money on food and durable goods, creating an immediate demand, more jobs, growing businesses which then return profits to offset the 1%er's tax. If Trickle Down works, Trickle Up does too and with less pain all around.

Lets run a fact check here regarding supply and demand.
1) Most products are bought by the lower middle classes.
2) Most businesses are owned by the upper class.
3) If a product is in buying demand, an employer will hire more employees in order to sell more products and make more money.
4) If a product is not in buying demand, an employer will not hire more employees because without buying demand he will lose money on additional salaries.

So, if I am rich and I get a tax cut, why would I hire more employees knowing that the lower middle classes, who did not get a tax cut, do not have money to buy my products. Especially when my competitors are saving money by firing people in a low demand (recession) market? So like the smart business owner I am, I just put it in the bank and wait out the recession. (Which is exactly what has been happening since the recession began.)

Now on the flip side, if I as a rich person do not get a tax cut, no big deal because I am already rich. And if the lower middle class does gets a tax cut, they now have additional spending money to buy my products. I recognize that buying demand is increasing and I would be a fool not to hire more employees to keep up with demand and make a profit.

Bottom line: Do Republicans understand the concept of supply and demand at all?

The Republicans are justifying the sacrifice of middle class payroll tax relief because the budget has no room for such relief, but maintain millionaire tax giveaways. Bohner is also attacking the Democrats for saying the sky is blue. Again, the millionaire tax giveaways have been in effect for ten years. Where are the jobs that these giveaways are producing?

small business are not the rich and the rich will continue to put money or invest in something that will make them more even if the are taxed more . If there is an oppurtunity to make a profit the rich will exploit it even if they are taxed more---oppurtunities will still get backing .

Remember people. The outsourcing and the importing is to COMMUNIST countries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are all truely MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the Republicans aren't for the rich than can anyone name just one thing that the Republican party has done for the middleclass or poor in the last 50 years?............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................NO, i didn't think so, I could name a hundred things the Demacrats have done for the poor and the middleclass, so i have to come to the conslusion that the Republicans are for the rich and the Demacrats are for the other 99%

all the tax cuts, etc, that the wealthy have received have created millions of jobs - in Asia, South America, India,... everywhere but here.

Norquist has his puppet "Boehner" respond to dems. Fact, Boehner has made a pledge to Norquist. He doesn't represent the people of America. He can't even make a comment without Norqwuist's blessing. He is a total joke.

The government depends upon your ignorance.

So, Boehner, in his $3,000 suit, his Bermuda suntan and his $200 manicure is telling us the GOP is working for the middle class and poor? How many of you out there are really buying into this?

Most Americans are not rich nor do they own a small business. Most small business men or women are millionares. When are the republicans going to get that thru their thick skulls? The average American's wages are plunging in a downward spiral. They are also losing benefits including healthcare. A lot of them now have 2 part time jobs, instead of a full time job with benefits. You fortunate people that have good jobs think that the less fortunate are lazy. You are so wrong that it makes me sick. I'm above average income and I give to the poor. Have a heart you people. America is a land of the haves and have nots. Try to brainwash yourselves into thinking otherwise but your just lying to yourselves. Thats just facts!

The Bush tax cuts have been law for eight years and yet we lost 8 million jobs and increase our national debt by 3+ trillion dollars. Ray Charles can see this policy doesn't work. Why can't Congress?

A former republican president call this economic strategy Voodoo Economics. Nothing has changed. "It's the seem old song, with a different beat since he came along." To quote a four tops song!

hahahahashahahahahah

IF any of what you say is true, why will you not support raising taxes on ONLY those making more than $1M/year?

Boehner thinks people are as stupid as the repubs are greedy .

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck!

Way to skirt the question, Boehner. You know what's going on; the rich have set themselves up as our new nobility and democracy is falling by the wayside. Thanks for ruining everything our founding fathers fought and died for, Republicans.

Tea Party Republicans (remember them?) are so distraught about the positive job numbers, they are attempting to leap to their deaths from the roofs of their doublewides.

Translation:And the fact is that republicans are trying to do whatever big business will let us do to allow rich American families and big business keep what they earn and put more on the backs of working families. Thats what he ment to say.

So the GOP wants to tax the poor and Zero out Capital gains tax. The poor and middle class are already the ones burdened with SS tax for their entire income. and Capital Gains is the only income those on wall street earn. The wealthy and businesses are sitting on tons of cash. They do not deserve any more. You want to spurn growth lets try trickle up. More money for the Middle class to spend that will generate demand and then maybe the wealthy will invest the cash they are sitting on to fill the demand.
