I think the Republicans couldn't have done more damage to themselves than by exiting the Super Committee without giving in to the "tax the rich" cry from everywhere. This seems beyond foolish to me, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it costs them dearly.
I know that I am not all that gung ho on the tax the rich stuff, but there is some truth to the fact that it would be helpful. Couple that with a cut back on spending and we get er done.
Fkn Politicians!!
