Wow, it does my heart good to see those Republican lawmakers looking out for the middle class again. Who else, in all their wisdom, could demand that the “rich, job-creating, conservatives” should not have their taxes raised or the Bush-era tax cuts expire and then turn around and propose to end the temporary payroll tax for everyone who actually goes to work? I can’t wait for Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, to explain if she supports this proposal and then expect me to vote for her and her Grand Olde Protectors of the wealthy next year. Fat chance.
