Keys to understanding O’s jobs proposal:
. . . [money to be raised] primarily through tax increases . . . . [Repub
spokesman:]”. . . this tax increase on job creators is the kind of proposal both parties have opposed in the past” . . . .[O] intends to campaign against Congress and Republicans in 2012 if they don’t pass the bill[:]
“Do we keep tax loopholes for oil companies, or do we put teachers back to work? Should we keep tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, or should we invest in education and technology and infrastructure?”
The mantras are in place. Jobs, oil companies, millionaires and billionaires, infrastructure. It’s politics on the model of Pavlov’s dog.
