Jeff G has a suggestion: "it’s time for the federal government to do without. It’s time for those who pay no taxes and vote themselves the money of those who do to ‘have some skin in the game.’ Call it ‘shared sacrifice’. You Marxist fuckers.”

Jeff Goldstein was always a gentle soul and only uses strong language when nothing else will do.

If the GOP can’t get the messaging out, I suppose the rest of us can get that done. And it would go something like this: “The top 10% of wage earners already pay 70% of the taxes. The top 1% already pay over 50% — and more than the bottom 95%. And it’s not as if Obama and the Democrats haven’t already tried raising all sort of taxes during their 2+ year long Recovery Summer, which — though the media keeps insisting is a recovery — has produced increased unemployment, an economy that shows negligible growth, and a withering away of the private sector.

And:

These days, when the President says that we have to “eat our peas”, I no longer know whether he’s offering a metaphor or invoking the Commerce Clause.

Like Jeff said, if the Republicans are afraid to say it, we'll say it for them.
