I pay plenty. Make Obama cut spending before we pay more.

Then since it's no big deal we don't need to pay more.

Oh..so it's the "fiscal anthill" now ?

It's the same rates that were in place during the Clinton era. He was the liberal's wet dream.

And since the Bush tax cuts only benefitted the "rich", why are so many middle class upset?

My friend, expiration of the Obama cuts is but one aspect of the fiscal cliff.
There are the obamacare taxes that kick in and big cuts across the board due to sequestration.

Me and the other rich guys are paying for Obamacare. Pelosi told me so.

Oh, relax! This 'cliff' is largely media hype. They have to sell something just like most everyone in this society.

It's probably artificial drama. Ultimately, there will be some mix of moderate tax increases and moderate spending cuts, and the anemic 2%-ish recovery will continue, and life will go on.

Just relax everyone.

No fiscal cliff.
When time ends, they will reach agreement in the last minute. Then, why all the hoopla? Republicans and their supporters will feel better, knowing they achieved something (annoying the democrats and rattling America).
