GOP softens anti-tax rhetoric

[timothyinMD]

If you ask Republican, conservatives, tea partiers if they'd rather have lower taxes OR spending cuts, I bet 90% will say spending cuts..  Repubs aren't blindly anti-tax.. we fully acknowledge we need taxes

Not all taxes are created equal for the GOP. They seemed awfully eagar to increase FICA taxes last year. At the same time, Republicans will fight to the death to protect tax cuts and even lower tax cuts for the 1%, even as these owners consumer an ever greater slice of the pie. Get a clue, America. It's not that hard to figure out who's looking out for whom.

FICA IS NOT A TAX!!

FICA is our government-forced retirement account.  It is NOT a tax.. its us paying for our own retirement!
