Meyerson: GOP Favors Tax Hike
Harold Meyerson: America’s presumably anti-tax party wants to raise your taxes. Come January, the GOP plans raising taxes of those earning $50,000 a year by $1,000, and those making $100,000 by $2,000. … Republicans like to complain that Democrats practice “class warfare” and “the politics of division,” as House GOP leader Eric Cantor argued on this page Monday. What the Republicans’ position on the payroll tax makes high-definitionally clear is their own class warfare on working- and middle-class Americans.
