    Senator John Barrasso: "Since its inception, the American political system has functioned on majority rule but with strong minority rights. Democracy isn't winner-take-all. If Sen. Reid breaks the rules to change the rules, political minorities—and all Americans—will lose."

    Senator John Thune: "With the unemployment rate at an unacceptably high 7.7 percent and another 350,000 Americans simply dropping out of the workforce altogether in November, the president and Senate Democrats shouldn't be insisting on a destructive tax hike that would hit nearly one million small businesses employing almost a quarter of the nation's workforce."

    Senator Jon Kyl: "Our Founders knew the tyranny of one-man rule – that’s why they rebelled against a King. They knew the importance of inserting checks and balances into the system, with the Senate ensuring minority representation. We should respect the Founders’ wisdom, the rules of the Senate, and each other. It’s what’s best for America."

    U.S. Senator Mike Johanns: "Blindly raising tax rates, as some are suggesting, is not the right answer. The solution to our debt crisis must come from targeted spending cuts, an overhaul of the tax code, and reforming the programs that account for most of federal spending."
    What to Expect from the Fiscal Cliff
    www.johanns.senate.gov
    With only four weeks before the end of the year, the fiscal cliff remains the top priority in Washington. At the stroke of midnight on December 31, all Americans will pay the price if the President and Congressional leaders cannot reach an agreement.

    In 2010, President Obama said it was a good idea to extend all tax rates because it would be harmful to the economy to do otherwise.

    GDP growth for the first 3 quarters of 2010 was 2.4 percent. GDP growth for the first 3 quarters of 2012 is only 2 percent.

    If it was a good idea to extend all tax rates then, why is it a bad idea now?
