John boehner is pulled by two groups. one he does not want to be obstructionist not to allow tax cuts for lower group to go through and doesnt want tax cuts to go through. he is pulled on that side and by his own party. what i hope is that the vast majority of the republicans hold true and if some of the republicans peel off, i would, that would be fine. if they pushed through obamas bill, but i do not want to see them punished. but the republicans need to have this position for 2014 and the res...

Was hinting at. he is suggesting that if you remove some of the loopholes that is a tax increase on the wealthy in this country. i feel like that is a message that has gotten across in perhaps a clear enough way. if you do same thing for u.s. corporations and roof move tax loopholes and dont end up in a situation where ge doesnt pay anything and small business pays through the nose. why isnt that kind of reform meaningful for democrats? >> i think there is a general understanding of two things. ...

Republicans who even say you cant raise the taxes for general electric, that will stifle the economy, stifle economic growth, not encourage general electric to hire people all that kind of stuff. increasingly im hearing from republicans, a lot of republicans including some conservative republicans you got to do something about the fact that a company like ge doesnt pay any tax. >> the argument is that every dollar that you tax is a dollar that either a corporation or an individual cant otherwise...
