Pelosi on the Wealthy: Don’t Tax Them. Wait, Tax Them or Else!: I hope most of you remember the comic strip Peanuts, featuring Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and none other than Charlie Brown. Lucy would often tell Charlie Brown that he was ‘wishy washy’ because he would change his mind when influenced by others around him.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House Minority Leader reminds me of Charlie Brown because of how wishy washy she is on some things, especially on taxing the wealthy.
In May of this year, Pelosi recommended that any households that earn $1 million or more keep the Bush era tax cuts in 2013.
This past Friday, Pelosi agreed with President Obama when he said that the tax cuts needed to be stopped for any household making $250,000 or more. Her tone sharpened and became more emphatic when on Sunday, she insisted that any deal with the Republicans had to include tax increases on the wealthy or there would be no deal.
