House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said that he and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) are on the same page when it comes to opposing any tax hikes on the American people as part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling.
“The speaker and I are on the same page: we don’t believe we should be raising taxes on the American people, especially in this economy,” said Cantor during his weekly pen and pad briefing on Monday.
He later added, “We don’t believe we ought to be raising taxes on people right now in this recession, in this economy -- and they [White House] do and that is just an irreconcilable difference.”
“And if the president wants the debt ceiling raised, we’re not going to go along and raise that if they want to raise taxes, and that just is what it is,” said Cantor.

We don't need to be raising taxes on the average working person but we also don't need to be giving huge tax breaks to only the wealthy!
We also don't need to be giving tax breaks to corporations who have taken their businesses (and the jobs to go with them) overseas!
They have no problem giving their wealthy buddies tax breaks while raising taxes on the soon to be extinct middle class!
