Ignoring the will of the people

For years, I've been listening to cries from politicians on both sides of the aisle that Washington is ignoring "the will of the people".  At no time was that wailing loudest than when the Democratic majority congress and the President passed the Affordable Care Act.  Republicans at the time were wailing, gnashing their teeth, and tearing their sack cloth! 

Now, a large majority of Americans, including Republicans, support raising taxes on the wealthy.  Now the Republicans are where the rubber meets the road.  And now, just like the Democrats, the Republicans are going to leave skid marks from digging in rather than burn marks from moving forward.
