GOP senator backs tax rate hike on wealthy
Washington (CNN) - In a significant development in the fiscal cliff standoff, Republican Sen. Tom Coburn, a leading deficit hawk, said Wednesday he would support higher tax rates on wealthier Americans as part of a broader deal with President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats to avoid the crisis.
"I know we have to raise revenue," the senator from Oklahoma told MSNBC. "I don't really care which way we do it. Actually, I would rather see rates go up than do it the other way, because it gives us a greater chance to reform the tax code and broaden the base in the future."
LeRoy: What will Republicans do to Tom Coburn? Burn him at the stake? Put him on the rack? Some other medieval torture?
The world is waiting to hear from Grover Norquist on what the proper punishment should be!
This heresy against Quistianity CANNOT be allowed to stand!!!!
