Republican Sen. Coburn: ‘Yes’ I Will Accept Tax Increases in Fiscal Cliff Deal
AP
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) on Sunday reaffirmed his stance that he would accept tax increases as part of a deal to avert the coming “fiscal cliff,” one of a handful of Republicans to indicate movement on the issue.
Coburn said on ABC’s “This Week” that the U.S. has spent “ourselves into a hole” and that no amount of raising taxes alone will solve the problem, but that he would consider doing so as part of a package deal.
“Will I accept tax increases as part of a deal to actually solve our problems? Yes, but the president’s negotiating with the wrong people,” Coburn said. “He needs to be negotiating with our bond holders in China, because if we don’t put a credible plan on — the discussion, ultimately, we all lose.”
Coburn said last week he would rather see rates go up instead of merely capping deductions.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) also signaled willingness to move on tax rates, telling “Fox News Sunday” that letting rates go up on the top 2 percent of earners in return for entitlement cuts is the “best route for us to take.”

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:27pmJust because he says he is considering something, doesn’t mean he is going to do it. So ease up. We are dealing with liars and tax cheats over on obama’s side. They say all kinds of thing. It’s the actions. If Coburn actually votes for a TAX increase (later) without getting at least double in specified cuts up front he best just vote “present” and wash his hands of obamnomics. You get ones single Republican to put their hands on it and the Loons radical alinsky weasels will point and say it was the Republican plan. WASH HANDS PLEASE

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 2:12pmThe sooner NBC, CBS, ABC & the rest of the leftwing media is gone the better. The same goes for Cobert & Maher. Between people voting for benefits they did not earn & leftwing media giving anyone with a (D) behind their name 15 points in a presidential election or opinion poll, sensible economic policies are unlikely.
If any taxes increases are agreed upon, then when the tax receipt come ion lower, the economy slows, we need to get into the face of every leftists politician & activist and rub it in their face until they blanch. Every time they are debating it needs those facts need to be called out interrupting many times until they can no longer think.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:22pmFormula for national financial well being going forward:
1. All corporations with overseas accounts holding profits from foreign operations to repatriate the cash within one calendar year tax free on a schedule prescribed by the Treasury. With an estimated $13 trillion overseas, allow companies to bring that cash back here untaxed if they use it ONLY on capital improvements.
2. Eliminate the 64,000 pages of IRS regulations and institute the Fair Tax at 22% on new item purchases. That means no corporate or personal income taxes. Shift all the IRS staff to Treasury to help monitor the tax collection effort.
3. Limit the deficit spending to no more than 3.5% over the preceding year’s tax receipts.
Follow the 3 steps above and this economy would literally charge ahead.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:07pmPresident Obama ran for the Presidency partly but explicitly on letting Bush’s TEMPORARY tax cuts on marginal tax rate of people earning more than 250K expire. He won. And polls now show that 60% of Americans support Obama on this issue.
This will of We The People should be important when making decisions. I have seen enough opinions on this website to know that the positions of We The People doesn’t count here when you disagree with the majority of Americans.
The concept of “We the People,” heralded here as a rallying call is empty when “We the People” disagree with the fringe ideas of the right that you represent. We the People disagree with you. The majority disagree with you. Try to wrap you arms around the fact that the majority of Americans disagree with you. This is America. If you want rule by the minority then try another less democratic country.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:50pmJust because a majority wants to be immoral, doesn’t make it moral. The ONLY reason for increasing taxes, is to decrease the amount of income someone takes home, and YOU KNOW IT. That is called ENVY. You lefty liberty haters don’t like how much we have, so you want make us have less. However they ONLY way you can do that legally is the tax code. So you bitch and complain that over 35% isn’t their “fair share,” yet you’ll never say what percentage the “fair share” is.
So please, tell us low intellect right wing bigots how you aren’t really communist, even though you advocate communist plank #2.
At least you progressives are lying less about who you are. It took 100 years of taking over the education and media to “prep” the people to accept your lies about progressive communist utopia, and prior to this, when you started to tell people who you really were you lost your collectivist asses.
Congratulations on that. Now go to hell.

Simple thing to do is have a flat tax. No loop holes. Everyone pays the same percentage rate. If it is 15 or 18 percent then everyone pays there fair share and we can do away with IRS.

Are they no longer teaching in our schools of higher education the fact that this great Country of ours is not now, nor has it ever been a democracy. It is a Republic, a nation of laws. Not a nation of majority rules.
After the signing of the Constitution, when asked what kind of Government the founders gave us, Ben Franklin replied, “We gave you a Republic, if you can keep it”.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:20pmOur one party system is full of progressives because they believe in higher taxes and more regulation.
Did you see republicans make government smaller with eight years of Bush? No you didn’t,the government got bigger and bigger with increased spending and regulations,now Barry along with progressive republicans are going to raise taxes and it isn’t going to help at all in fact it’ll do more harm to the economy. But Barry has to make it look like he’s ‘looking out for the little guy’,it’s part of his never ending campaigning.

are written into the tax code so that their taxable incomes are low or non-existant. If the tax rate on low or non-existant income is raised to 100% there still is no money going to the government. Exemptions must be cut to insure what Oblamer wants.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 4:53pmRaising taxes generally depresses revenue.
It’s not linear.
Current revenue is at record levels.
Spending is out of control.
The Federal Government needs to be reduced to about 1/4 the size it is now.
Medicare and Social Security: The only way we’re going to honor this commitment is to inflate the money. Checks will keep going no matter how big the deficit is. They just wont be able to by a loaf of bread with it.
Big cuts in the defense department, BIG cuts. Military needs to get slim. No choice.
Of coarse the government will never willingly reduce it’s own size, until it collapses.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:04pmNo, not over, just forcing us to change our plans. When a people has had their heads buried for as pong as we have it takes a long time to change and make the proper adjustments and responses to things that happen.
We have underestimate out opponents but that does not mean defeat. It means change strategy.
In my estimation we need to treat this as a guerrilla operation. Read history of how many of the small elements of history fought the larger elements. In this instance, I’m not talking about violence but the strategy is the same. Few opposing the attacks of the many.
You do it in small groups but incessantly making them have to respond over and over to the many spread out attacks so they can’t combine forces.
We need to take over the social media sites to begin with by making small groups of people to respond to anything and everything the liberals post that is questionable. Force them to spend time responding incessantly. This does several things. I cause them to use resources, and it gets out an opposing message to others that are merely reading and not responding.
Imagine what the results would be if we began showing up are every liberal press conference or event and began chanting something opposite to what they are saying. Just like they do and have done for years now.
Get the idea?
No one can say we have done what we needed to do at this point. We are all guilty of complacency but it has to stop now.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:59amRepublicans should go a step further and demand that all negotiations be broadcast on CSPAN. We aren’t talking abut national secrets here, so the only reason for making these deals TOP SECRET is political.
If there were statesmen in charge, they would allow the People to watch them make legislation.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:10pmThat’s been my thinking, too. It’s going to happen eventually, and with the schools like they are and society like it is, our kids will not be emotionally, physically, or spiritually equipped to deal with it when it happens. Let it happen now while we’re here and we’ll bear the brunt of it. After all, our generation was the generation that voted in for many of these @sshats in washington who did this to our country.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:42amskippy6, exactly right.
Everytime the RINOS compromise with the dem-socialsts the US becomes even more of a socialists/commi country. It’s been going on for the past 60 or 70 years or more.
I wonder if the so-called entitlement cuts are really cuts or simply a cut in the amount on increase, that’s what washington considers a cut.
We need a strong majority of Tea Party Conservatives in both houses of congress and a strong conservative President. Then get the spending under control back to levels in the 70′s or 80′s.
It’s time US Federal Government learned to live on a realistic budget, not one designed to curry favors and votes.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:18pmJust what do you suppose is going to change the minds of people that DIDN’T vote republican this time?
You can’t really believe that at this point anything will except for some MAJOR incident like an economic crash, war, etc. Even then it is unlikely at this point.
The best we can hope for is that the system hurries up and crashes so we then have the opportunity to replace it. THAT is what we need to be ready to do because you can believe since the globalist have been the ones engineering all this garbage that they most definitely are ready.
At this point, hope for the worst, prepare for the worst and then hope we beat them to the punch in rebuilding. It’s all that’s left. This past election showed that very clearly and if we continue to bury our heads in the sand without acknowledging it…WE LOSE….PERMANENTLY!!!

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:36amI am saddened today, I had a lot of respect for Senator Coburn, he has shown us plenty of government waste, yet he too is infected with the bug that Obama and his cohorts wants what is good for America. When will they realize that what is happening is what Obama wants. He is a disciple of the Cloward and Priven strategy of burdening the government with so much debt and obligations that forces it to either collapse or force it to transform it into one where the “rich” are “punished”
But for all those middle class supporters of Obama, remember to many of his dependents, YOU are rich.
