looks like a lot of tax cuts across the board to me. it also looks like a lot of spending cuts as well. as for trying to steal my house, let them try, the mortgage has been paid off for more than 20 years, and the property taxes are up to date.

Hawkeye> you can say the word 'opportunity' & claim it is there but, the numbers just don't agree.
Saying "oh well that's life" does not make the problem go away, it just screams
I got me mine! So the heck with the rest of you.

I am curious as the divide between the uber rich & the poor continues to rapidly grow, just how long it will take for people to wake up & what they will do.
Agreed... I wonder what jobs or Health Care plan the GOP has?...

So you think this bill will pass and Congress will let the Bush cuts expire ?
From your posts you seem to think so.

BTW..the bill you keep quoting has been stagnating in Congress since April 2010 and has not moved yet you post like it's a "done deal".

No, they didn't try it before. It never came up for a vote.
It was referred to committee and that's where most die.
