Households with adjusted gross income of $250,000 or more accounted for 1.92% of the taxes filed in 2010, yet paid 45.65% of all income taxes. And 47.82% of tax filers pay for only 1.66% of total taxes paid.

If it’s primarily increased taxes to try and turn it around, they have only postponed the inevitable.

I'd gladly pay 1000X what those who pay ZERO are paying. (That would be a Tax Cut for me! LOL)

That's MORE than fair in my book.

How is paying Zero taxes "fair" to those who pay ANYTHING HIGHER THAN THAT?

However, all the parasites who think they have a "Right" to get free stuff have no problem paying no taxes to get YOURS.

To the democrats, getting past the fiscal cliff is solved by just upping the debt limit.

The GOP should realize that expiration of the Bush tax cuts increases the number of taxpayers. The GOP should go ahead and play chicken with 0bama. Eventually, the GOP would gain political support to reduce taxes across the board as the economy fails.

This “fiscal cliff” crap is nonesense.

Their solution will make it worse.

You can tax people into oblivion and it will not have any effect on our deficit. We are going over the cliff folks. Its just a matter of what month its going to happen. Keep buying food.
