Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) speaks with the CBS Early Show about the debt commission, the tax debate, and his opposition to the START Treaty:
Here's a quick summary of the tax debate discussion, as reported by KSRO Newstalk 1350:
A leading Senate conservative says he believes President Barack Obama is ready to embrace the notion of keeping Bush era tax rates in place for everyone, including the wealthy, with no New Year's increases.
Republican Sen. Jim DeMint tells CBS's "The Early Show" he wants to "keep tax rates the same." The South Carolinian said he believes Obama "has come around to the idea" that taxes can't be raised in hard economic times.
DeMint favors a permanent extension of the existing rates but said he thinks Obama will oppose anything beyond a temporary extension for the wealthy. The senator said, "A business is not going to plan to add 50 people if they only know what their taxes are going to be for the next two years."

We need to apply the same rules from banking and finance to university research grants, trial lawyers, and union funds. Defeated plaintif attorneys should be subject to victorious defendent's malpractice suits. Professors molest more youth than clergy do. Privatize the university-grants complex (NSF, NIH, NOAA, NASA, NIST, NEH, NEA) so corporations may own univerity patents. Deport foreign born Obama voters for sedition .Blame professulas whose posh pensions graze on stumbent loan interest from vacuous degrees in basket weaving commie nutty organizing. Turn grant grubbing blatherers into fuel, especially perverts like mayor crotch who gas for obsama zbin biden. Your islamosympathic gutterswabbing clothing and pierced privates spread disease. If you weren't such baby killing, vermin snuggling perverts you wouldn't be driving up our health costs, then collecting disability for your commie nutty organizing dementia. Your passive aggressive labor unions grab our guns, cars (congestion pricing), balls (SONDA), wallets, and homes but we will grab your throats and dang you from trailer bone tolls. Apply Sarbanes Oxley to non-profits! Repeal the sixteenth amendment before any VAT. All the homeless are drugged out hippies. Second Amendment is the ONLY Homeland Security. Wait until we waste all your stumbent subprimes, so you need to sell your affectation glutton art and work instead of diverting tuition and Y2K scams to soviet freezeniks! Deport for multiple visits to same country. If you controlled your own pension neither your boss nor the government could abuse it. Lynch soviet wealth fund abetting aghadhimmic peakies when oil plummets! Parasites complain about salaries but pig out with benefits. Global warming is a grant grubbing extortion racket. Urban sprawl annoys terrorists. Hazards and pollution stem mostly from mandates. Aqua volte! This land wasn't build by bullocraps.
