I’ll stand a pint at the pub for anyone here who can tell me where this comes from, what it means, and why. (Safe bet, that, as no one here these days knows anything at all about Oregon history, or Oregon literature. Fucking Tourorists)
Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley: Don’t Give An Inch On Bush Tax Cuts
“At least one Democratic senator says that he’s encouraging members on his side of the aisle not to give Republicans one inch in the ongoing fight over how to address the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. He says the legislative landscape offers his party tremendous leverage in the fight and unless Republicans are willing to begin negotiating in good faith, Dems should allow the cuts to expire entirely and then retroactively pass new tax cuts that don’t benefit the wealthiest Americans.”
