From The Hill:
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that President Obama is inciting class warfare “every day” as he pushes Congress to pass his jobs package.
“We are not going to engage in class warfare,” Boehner said on ABC’S “This Week with Christiane Amanpour.” “[The] president’s out there doing it every day. I, frankly, think it’s unfortunate, because our job is to help all Americans, not to pit one set of Americans against another.”
Obama, Boehner added, “is clearly trying to do [that]. And it’s wrong.”
Behind Obama, Democrats have urged Boehner and other GOP leaders to pass the president’s $447 billion jobs legislation, which includes funding for infrastructure projects, teachers and first responders, but would also raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans – a move that’s anathema to conservatives.
