Democrats Divided

AP – FILE - In this Aug. 24, 2010 file photo, House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio speaks in Cleveland.

Democrats are divided about taxes. Some are wanting to initiate raising taxes on the wealthiest, while others are suggesting waiting until after the elections come November.

This was not the debate Democrats wanted as the midterm election season opened. The plan was to make an extension of the middle-class tax cuts the party's closing argument — against Republicans, not each other — as voters began to focus on whether they trust Democrats to improve the ailing economy enough to reward them with control of Congress for another two years.

Isn't it interesting how many Democrats know the dangers of raising taxes, especially during a recession? Here all this time, they act as if Republicans have always been wrong in fighting for lower taxes. They know what will happen if they raise taxes on people, especially the wealthy.

I am not surprised they are playing politics here. This has nothing to do with helping the American people, it's more about them creating a strategy to maintain power.
