Rep. John Fleming Discusses Fiscal Cliff on ‘Wilkow!’

Nov. 13, 2012 8:22pm Christopher Santarelli

As Washington preps for the fiscal cliff negotiations and showdown between Democrats and Republicans, AP reports that the president will stick by calls for raising taxes on families earning more than $250,000 a year, which Obama views as what voters want and affirmed with his re-election. Republican House Speaker John Boehner has expressed a willingness to raise revenues but remains opposed to boosting tax rates, pointing instead to closing tax loopholes, lowering rates and fixing entitlement programs.

Some conservatives fear Boehner will go too far in compromising with Obama on taxes, and not every GOP member agrees with the Speaker’s approach. Republican Rep. John Fleming joined ‘Wilkow!’ Tuesday to discuss the fiscal cliff, watch a clip below:

This is a win win for both progressive sides. El Presidente set this in motion. And when the sequester happens both parties will blame the other while WE are taxed to death. Typical plan to pretend it wasn’t the desire of either party but it had to happen as they had an agreement that they could not agree too. lol

And it does everything Obama wants it to do…continue to hammer and reshapen the military and give more authority to the likes of TSA and homeland security. And be fearful of the SS.

It’s like he is setting up a regime…one that will not end up in a military coup, eh? The whole thing is messed up.

I fear what Buckling Boehner will do just as much as I dread what the Dictator of Debt will do!

The real plunge into the abyss is coming within the next year or two when we hit the debt brick wall! It will lead us to what will be known as the GREATEST Depression!

Talk to all the Republican’s you want, they are just as responsible for the fiscalcliff as Obama and his Merry Men.. They all got away with murder for years.. enriching themselves while they were there. I am ashamed of them fo getting us into this mess. although the Republican’s are a little more responsible I stll blame them,, they did nothing about Illegals, they allowed to many illegals on public assistance when they never put a dime into it. No, talk all you want, but really they could have avoided alot of the mess when they were in power.. now they can do nothing but give in to Obama, or continue to fight him.. personally I do not want to live in a socialist country!
