The report's findings undermine a central tenet of Republican party orthodoxy on taxes. The report was first released in September but was removed from public circulation shortly thereafter, apparently after pressure was applied by Senate Republican leaders. We are re-posting the report here, in its original form, so that it receives the unfiltered exposure it deserves as a nonpartisan analysis. Click here to read the study."

Ah yes but you see that would require the top money earners to take a short term decrease in income for a long-term increase in income. The CEO mentality is to do the opposite in order to maximize bonuses. Plus a lot of people are really really bad at thinking long-term.

"This is happening not because of a natural disaster or breakdown in machinery. It is happening by partisan design. Alarmed by the strong Democratic turnout in early voting in 2008, Republican lawmakers, including Governor Rick Scott, reduced the number of early voting days from 14 to eight. When the restrictions were challenged in federal court under the Voting Rights Act, a three-judge panel said they would have a discriminatory impact upon minority voters. But only five of the state's 67 counties are covered by the federal civil rights law. "

When did tax increase? I'm confused about that, I'm not, however, confused about the taxing of operating revenue. That comes after expenses. If it looks good on paper... it is good.

GOP should take this opportunity to dispose of issues that are guaranteed losers going forward.

- Opposing dream act/amnesty
- Opposing gay marriage
- Opposing women's issues

The demographic trends aren't in their favor on these issues, and opposing these issues really isn't vital to the future of the country.

11/7/2012 4:05:18 AM

The GOP bascially needs to shed the nutjob express of religious and social extremists as the Tea Party took a beating and of course the anti-women sentiment carried into the Presidential race. I also believe Romney's 47% tape was almost a fatal blow.

11/7/2012 8:10:14 AM

as long as the GOP wants to be the party of rich white men, this is going to keep repeating itself. the GOP might be able to hold the House just by the nature of how it works, but they won't be in serious play for much of anything until they drop the hate retoric and embrace the changing times.

the only reason there's a GOP in the first place is because of the Civil Rights Act, though I suppose they don't teach about the Solid South much nowadays. plus all the hillbilly hicks that vote GOP don't realize they're supporting the party that led the attack and occupation of the South in that minor skirmish called the Civil War

11/7/2012 8:19:56 AM

Put that stereotype bullshit to rest. There are millons of GOP voters that vote based on values and are not morons. I am willing to bet my fucking entire net worth that the average Republican voter is more informed than the average Democrat voter.

Quote :

"- Opposing dream act/amnesty - Opposing gay marriage - Opposing women's issues "

I agree with this although the gay marriage thing is a not necessarily a loser for the GOP. Republicans are going to have to find a way to gain favor with hispanics as they basically just won Obama another 4 years. As for women's issues, Republicans just need to just stop talking about abortion period. It does them zero in terms of gaining votes/support.

Where in the constitution does is say separation of church and state? Liberals hang on this crap like it is their purpose in life.

Franklin?

I know you're trying to be sarcastic here, but it's fairly accurate. the GOP social policy is pretty much fully borne of evangelical christian views, and the GOP will continue to lose elections until it moves away from this.
