The conservative Republican pundit, on the fiscal cliff discussion: "Consider Mr. Obama’s primary contention that the millionaires and
billionaires (defined, without any sense of irony, as those making
$250,000 a year) need to pay 'just a little bit more' in taxes. The
president contends that raising taxes to 39% on the top 2% will generate
$1.6 trillion dollars over 10 years with no adverse effects to job
growth."
Ms. Doan continues her commentary about the Democrats: "However, in the Democrat[s'] lexicon, what constitutes 'just a bit more'
changes dramatically when referring to calls for cuts of $400 billion
in entitlement reform. Suddenly, much smaller calls for cuts of $400
billion are defined as imprudent 'hacking away', 'a gusher' and 'hemorrhaging.'. Yet, the president's plan to raise $1.6 trillion (or about 4 times that
amount) in new taxes are described as 'just a little bit.'"
