Boehner: I’ll Drop Tax Cut for Rich If I Have To Appearing on Face The Nation, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) indicated that a compromise on renewal of the Bush tax cuts — to renew only the tax cuts for those making under $250,000, and allow the tax cuts for higher-incomes to expire –Â could be possible. “I want to do something for all Americans who pay taxes,” Boehner said. “If the only option I have is to vote for some of those tax reductions, I’ll vote for it. But I’ve been making the point now for months that we need to extend all the current rates for all Americans if we want to get our economy going again, and we want to get jobs in America.”
