Music to Occupy Wall Street’s dirty hippy ears.

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — President Barack Obama says the nation’s economy would be dealt a “massive blow” if Congress fails to extend a payroll tax cut.

“The question for today is, we’ve obviously seen Republicans demonstrate a pretty aggressive defense of the tax cuts that are enjoyed by millionaires and billionaires,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters traveling on Air Force One Wednesday. “The question is if they’re going to join Democrats in aggressively fighting to protect the tax cuts of 160 million working Americans.”
