Buffett Rule would only hit 1% of small business owners

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., sided with fellow Republicans in voting against the "Buffett rule" on Monday. (click here)

..."On the heels of a very weak jobs report for the month of March, this is no time to be talking about raising taxes," Brown said in a statement after the vote. "It will hurt small businesses and make the economy worse."...




It looks as though Republicans like Scott Brown are far more rhetorical than truthful.

At what point do Republicans actually governor. They didn't for eight years of Bush/Cheney and they haven't yet since 2008?

All they did during Bush/Cheney was spend and sink the country into war and debt while destroying the USA economy. Actually, the lack of governing under Bush/Cheney sunk the global economy.

When does all the rhetoric stop and some real governing begin? Never? The USA is supposed to flounder forever in Plutocrat Heaven?
