Its all about keeping the rich, rich and helping them get even richer though they do little to stimulate the economy. It is the little people, those who work pay check to pay check who keep the economy going. With so many people out of work those people aren't spending on anything that isn't an absolute necessity--they simply don't have the cash. . Pence, Boehner, McConnell--they are all nothing but cronies to their wealthy buddies who care nothing for the poor and middle class. Nov. is beginning to worry me.

They do not care about the good of the country but rather than keeping their and their rich friends' bank accounts fat. Enough said!

That is wishful thinking.we have a $13,000,000,000,000 trillion dollar deficit. Who is going to pay that the tooth fairy. Anyone with any amount of common sense knows that tax cuts from Republicans are a pipe dream and political hodge podge. DON'T BELIEVE IT. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.We have spent $780,000,000 billion fighting a questionable war in Iraq. And untold billions in supporting a corrupt government in Afghanistan and fighting a war for who knows what.

When the tax cuts were passed they were done so with an end date because they were not accounted for. John McCain would not sign the bill unless it had an end date. During that time we had the lowest jobs totals since the great depression. If the tax cuts are allowed to stay, it will add $3.7 trillion to the debt the next 10 years. So if Republicans are supposed to be physically conservatives why do they want to increase the debt when lowering taxes doesn't increase jobs growth? The next question is why would you put them back in power after they left with a $10 trillion debt, the largest since Reagan's Presidency, and would want to continue the debt by passing tax cuts on into the future as jobs growth? Just asking........

It's not the taxes that are collected that everyone is griping about, it's the waste the dollars generated by those taxes. And you Mr. Pence with you position in Congress didn't seem to worry about what anything cost the 8 years of the GWB/Cheney administration. Your constituents need to look at your voting record.

They have no plan for jobs becasue frankly they believe in globalization and Wall Street profits for the rich. That's it..................You have to ask them what they're position on the WTO and trade policies, and tariffs on incoming goods that kill our manufacturing, consequently jobs for Americans.

Tax cuts will not work for the same reason that the Fed pumping money into the system will not work. At times of deep distress in the economy people start to hoard cash not spend it. What we need whether the Hon. Mr. Pence and his republican colleagues agree or not is more government spending. The Government has to become the consumer of last resort. And putting money into the hands of people who have to spend it a CCC or WPA program. I am not saying stop unemployment but we should get something for that money, it is better for the country and it is better for the people who receive it to fell that they earn it.

Didnt they add 2.3 trillion dollasrs to our deficet ? Didnt they only at best create 1 million jobs in ten years? Just how will we cut taxes at a time of a dramatic drop of revenue and a huge interest on the deficet to pay for?Question to tea party supporters Just how do you think republicans can cut revenue to our goverment and yet pay the interest on the deficet and pay down the deficet Just what is it about tax cuts now that you think will create jobs when they actusly lost jobs the previous ten years or increase revenue when for ten years they failed to increase revenue and actualy cost you 2.3 trilion dollars was those tax cuts actuasly tax cuts or just a deferrment of your taxes to your children
