It should be political suicide for any politician who is not willing to compromise and contribute to a bipartisian solution to fix the Economy and Help Suffering Americans

Two days after, We the People of America, through our vote on Tuesday spoke very loud and clear that we expect the Democrats and the Republicans to compromise and come up with a bipartisan solution, to avoid the fiscal cliff and fix the economy; Judging from the events of today, it appears that both parties continue to sharply disagree over how to do this, but it’s not all bad, because it actually appears that there may possibly be a bit of softening in the
positions. Republicans contend that higher tax rates would damage the economy, while Democrats contend that it is the only reasonable way to fix the debt. Whether or not the Republicans really feel that higher tax rates would damage the economy is hard to really determine because as many of us know, most Republicans, have signed the Grover Norquist pledge stating that they will never raise taxes. And if they go against this pledge, the price will be no more funding from certain right wing conservative groups, which could mean political suicide.

So in essence it seems that to stay in their positions, they are willing to sell out the American people. They are willing to stand by and watch while millions of Americans lose their jobs, houses, healthcare, dignity, hope, and belief in the American dream.

I’m no economist so I don’t know what the best solution is but what I do know is that since both parties have very different ideas that some sort of deal will have to be struck which will include a tax hike. Maybe not as high as the Democrats might hope for but a compromise means meet in the middle somewhere and the middle includes an increase in taxes. I’m willing to pay a little more if it will help the bigger picture and secure our future and from what I hear and read most other Americans are too.

We are going to keep our eyes on the negotiations and I think the People of America’s position should be
whomever does not compromise, does not get re-elected next term.

We need just as tough a stance as Mr. Grover and the Republican right wing conservative groups. After all we
really have the power. Their power only exists if we do not exercise ours.

Just Something to Think About.
