Really?

Republicans this year fought to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, but have opposed extending the payroll tax cut. Obama said the payroll tax cut represents around $1,000 a year for the average middle class family.

[...]

Additionally, Republicans have acknowledged that tax cuts need to be paid for, “when for years they’ve been saying just the reverse, that tax cuts will pay for themselves.”

[...]

Grover Norquist’s anti-tax pledge, which nearly every Republican in Congress has signed, is becoming increasingly problematic for the GOP, according to  [former U.S. labor secretary and University of California professor Robert] Reich.

“Americans don’t want to vote for [anyone] who is pledged to someone else. Americans want people who are pledged to them, as Americans.”

  Raw Story
Come out of that bubble and have a look at your fellow Americans, Bob.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
