it's not like the repugs will ever compromise on anything - no matter what the American people want

Republicans scoff at White House’s first offer 
---
Obama offers a common sense proposal that mirrors the platform that he ran on - which was overwhelmingly  approved by the American public - and, of course, the repugs say it is a non-starter, because all they care about is the ultra-wealthy.

It's time that the repugs realize that they lost and they need to compromise - and it's not a big compromise that is being asked - it's an end to tax cuts that were supposed to have already expired - so that this country can move forward. I guess they still haven't learned that their obstructionism is making them toxic.
