>> There’s no way to avoid it.
That’s a lie.
There are many ways to avoid it.
Actually, there IS no way to avoid it. If nothing happens, tax rates go up automatically. The only way for tax rates to NOT go up is for Obama to sign legislation that keeps rates where they are. That will never happen.
You can scream at Boehner all you want, but rates WILL go up. Nothing the Republicans can do will change that.
