Basically, President Obama is trying to reinvigorate the notion this country was founded on — opportunity if you’re willing to work hard. Seems like everything Republicans claim they are for. And in fact, some of Obama’s proposals are ideas Republicans can agree to or have even touted in the past. But we all know that Republicans won’t give the middle class a break if it involves having corporations/ the rich pay their fair share. The problem for Republicans is that this is a set up for 2016, and so Republicans can’t very well tell the middle class to get lost. This is why Republicans’ new argument seems to be heading toward “Only tax cuts for rich people grow the economy.” Republicans have only two other choices: Pushing the flat tax, which unfairly burdens the poor and middle class, or pushing their old tired stand by that when they are in power, “deficits don’t matter”.
