Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us. …Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business.” And after the way they rammed this through the House with little debate, without legislators even reading it… and while quarantining the GOP from any meaningful input whatsoever, any foolhardy individuals who still believe Obama’s threadbare “bipartisanship” spiel ought to have their head examined. http://reaganiterepublicanresistance.blogspot.com/ Obama claimed that the average American would not bear the brunt of this historic tax-increase… claiming instead that “It is paid for by the polluters who currently emit dangerous carbon emissions.”
