I haven’t seen any bill that protects low and middle income from federal income tax increases when the tax cuts expire.
Now it's certain that it will really suck.
Just what the economy needs. /s

Excuse me, was there an actual debate, or does debate mean WH sends up trial balloon and guages the NYTs opinion? This is a real WTF moment.
Does anyone see how this benefits the homosexual community and the liberal community. Here’s why: If you make $250,001 as a married couple filing jointly and you have six children (or even say 4), you are going to pay the higher tax now. But if you are a gay person living with another gay person as your partner (no children) and each of you make $199,000 a year, you are going to pay the lower rate. This makes no sense at all.
People in this country are so foolish and do not seem to see through it at all. Obama is not only against America, he’s against families.
Raise taxes on those making over $250K and they will simply raise their prices. The middle class will pay this which is the same thing as a tax increase.
RE: At least Obama has taken the uncertainty factor out of the economy.
Not by a longshot. We still have the November 2010 elections coming...
One of the worst things the Republican Congress didn’t do was to make those tax cuts permanent.
This morning, on my local radio station, Fox News was talking about the Bush tax cut and kept saying that they were tax cuts for the rich. No bias there.
I forgot to add this in to my post. Another way this advances the liberal cause is because libs and Lefties are far more likely to not have children and to live together, thus receiving a better tax benefit from this. The couples who marry and file jointly and have children get ripped off. My definition of wealthy is not some couple making $250K. While they may be doing well, I don’t begrudge people doing well and they should not be penalized.
The Republicans didn't have the votes to make them permanent.
Yeah but that was because of one vote, wasn’t it?
The AnnointedIdiot merrily skipping along the idiocy road..... =.=
Those that run a business will do just that.
Those that are workers will just spend less on toys and fun, which means less need for workers at Best Buy or the local eatery.
One big circle of suck!
If you can find me a single Democrat who is in favor of taxing wealth instead of income (e.g. John Kerry, John Corzine, Maria Cantwell, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Hillary Clinton, etc.), please let me know.
I think they could only have it temporary because they only had 51 Senate votes.....permanent budgets need 60 I believe.
Which means everyone from the bottom on up will be taxed.
Obama never had any intention of not taxing everyone.
They tried but the Rats wouldn't do it.
