There is a Donkey talking to an Elephant. The Donkey says, "Two plus two equals four.” In response the Elephant says, "No, two plus two equals five." Then Donkey suggests, "Can we compromise on that?"
*******
“Like maybe with bipartisan talks and negotiations we could reach a compromise?”
The Elephant - “Yeah, right.”

Explanation:

Two plus two equals four is the Democrats’ stand on no tax cut extension for the rich.

Two plus two equals five is the Republicans’ stand that letting tax rates go up for the wealthy will hurt the economy. This is wrong and worse, a lie. It is a lie because they know that tax cuts for the rich don’t work and have only increased the debt and redistributed more wealth to the wealthy. Just look what happens to our economy under Republican rule!

You can’t compromise on two plus two equals four. Nor should you compromise on a tax cut extension for the rich. The rich need to start paying back to society in order for all of us to succeed; otherwise we will eventually all fail!

Rant:

Furthermore, the Republicans don’t care about America. Unpatriotic, selfish, two-faced, disingenuous, self serving and mostly incredibly destructive to our society, their greater desire to be reelected and pander to the very wealthy than to do any good for the country is their real ideology. Since Reagan, our country has deteriorated, while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Could we go to the moon now, build a national interstate highway and any of the great things we accomplished before the ideology of small government and less regulation took control? They have manipulated the minds of so many people into thinking that this ideology is good for them, though the very increases in wealth and income of the rich are coming out of their own pockets. We have to find a way to make those people realize what a fraud the Republicans are! Look what their dammed ideology has done to our country? And who is it they want to make more sacrifices? Everybody but the rich whom they have subsidized since Reagan! Wealth has become top heavy just as it was before the Great Depression. Trillions more at the top, trillions less at the bottom! The Republicans are the real terrorists bent on our destruction. Damned Sellouts!
