GOP needs to play hardball on this. If the taxes are not extended, it will destroy what's left of the economy. Especially since it was Democrats who didn't want to make them permanent to begin with.

Let the Dems own this. "The rich" argument isn't going to work anymore.

All arguments for increasing tax rates on “the rich” can be refuted with empirical proofs.
These include “fairness” and “paying their fair share” and “deficit/revenue” reasons.

The only thing left, the only reason the left really wants to raise rates on “the rich” is in order to punish them for their success.
