Give The people What they Want John

Boehner stated in his response [to the Prsident's immigration plans], “This is exactly what the American people said they didn’t want. I have been very clear that the President’s promise of unilateral action on executive amnesty is the wrong way to govern.”

Really, you want to do what the people want?

How about starting with this want?

Nine in 10 Americans support expanding background checks on gun purchases in a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, an extraordinary level of agreement on a political issue and a finding that's been duplicated in nearly every major public poll.

Or this one.

A large majority of Americans want Congress to substantially increase the minimum wage as part of an effort to reduce the nation’s expanding economic inequality, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

As a growing share of the country’s income flows to the very wealthiest, the poll found that 57 percent of Americans say lawmakers should pursue policies aimed at balancing an economic system they think is out of whack. Nearly two in three say federal policy is tilted toward helping the rich over Americans who are less well-off, according to the survey.

Try this one on for size John.
