David Selig, Conservative Commentator joins Thom Hartmann. The deal President Obama is pushing for includes closing tax loopholes on corporations, millionaires, and billionaires in exchange for trillions of dollars in spending cuts targeting mostly working class families - a deal that Conservative columnist David Brooks referred to earlier this week as “the mother of all no-brainers” for Republicans. But the Republican “Party of No” - isn’t interested in making deals - it’s interested in crashing the economy. Speaker John Boehner immediately threw cold war on the President’s message yesterday - saying that bipartisan talks are “fruitless” if even a nickel of tax increases on corporations, on millionaires like him, or on the billionaires who fund Republicans is on the table. So how can that possibly be a constructive tone heading into another round of negotiations with the President? Are Republicans - the self-proclaimed "adults in the room" willing to crash the economy if they don't get every single thing they want? And how can they get away with this?

Thom asked him to name something painful the millionaires/billionaires were going to have to subject themselves to to get the economy back online.

Because there isn't one.

3. They've had to donate more of their hard earned $

to the Teaparty to keep the reasonable minded people in this country from burning Wall Street to the ground after they caused this whole mess. That is really strapping them for future Mansion, Sports Car and Whore purchases. That's Sacrafice! :sarcasm:
