I said it on the first page.... I'd call the tax me more progressives, bluff.

Here's the kicker. Even if they let all of those expire they'll still have to cut $600 billion from the budget and raise the debt ceiling.

We're living in exciting times (ish).

Same with everyone, if it is based on income. ZERO!

Penalize(or is it a tax) me for being productive and not a burden to society????
That is the beginning of the end.


Tax me on my desires, if you must....

Judging by the nonstop string of vehement disagreements within his own party by high-prfofile folks such as Pres. Clinton & Newark Mayor Cory Booker, he's definitely trying to commit political suicide, or at least it appears that way.

What happened in 2010?

This time the Dems can kiss the Senate and the White House goodbye.

Pay and work your fair share then get back to me.

Everyone going off the fiscal cliff is exactly what Obama wants but he's a very good wordsmith to camouflage it. And the naive think Obama gives a rat's ass about them. He is more interested in getting more money to spend on his green energy agenda and giving the unions what they want.

If Obama cared so damn much about you why didn't he spend money on improving the economy the first time instead of spending it on green energy.

Answer: He does not care about me or you.
