Liberals everywhere are claiming victory across the interwebs. I've yet to find a forum where liberals are crying over the outcome. All they see is Barack fulfilling a campaign promise of raising taxes on the rich.
"ARITHMETIC" doesn't appear to matter. Perhaps you can reach out and inform your brethren?
You are on this forum and no one is claiming victory. How can you own yourself that hard

Expand your horizons would be my recommendation.

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz is joining the White House in declaring victory after the last-minute Tuesday morning fiscal-cliff deal, even though it has yet to clear the House of Representatives.
“[i] would say that this is a big victory for the president and the people,” Schultz declared. “This is what the people voted for.”
It is a victory for the middle class as their taxes are not going up, and it is a victory for the military etc as they get to keep their jobs for the time being.
You need to expand your horizons. City Data is one forum of the many thousands out there.
thats all fine and dandy, but you said

the very place you are posting discredits your argument.
pretty sure Ed Shultz is a progressive by most people's standards, which is not the same as a liberal. Im also pretty sure that Ed Shultz does not speak for a majority of anyone.
They feel they "won" because there's basically no cuts in any real spending. Cuts in discretionary spending = ticked off Dem voters who rely on nanny state vote buying to win elections. They don't really care about any cliff, they just don't want to lose the power to continue buying votes with gov. money.
How do you know their are no cuts in spending? We don't know the specifics of anything, and nothing has been passed yet.
I agree I am kind of glad the GOP is sinking this. If nothing happens we get real rates like dividends taxed at ordinary income and a 55% rate on the estate tax w/ a $1m deduction.

I know there are no real spending cuts because the President supports it and so do his minions, that's all we really need to know in order to be sure that there are no meaningful spending cuts included in the bill.
The deal to avert the fiscal cliff, which includes tax increases on those making $450K and above, results in an estimated $60B in additional tax revenues annually.
LOL
Someone, anyone please tell me how how a measely $60 Billion in revenue will do anything to alter the trajectory of TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICITS!
LOL
Silly liberals think they've won the debate but in reality have been shat on again by none other than Barack Hussein Obama!
You need to understand real work accounting and static accounting.
Static accounting is what government use. Basically, if total income is $100, at 30% tax rate, they will get $30, at $10, they will get $10, and at 90% rate, they will get $90. Static accounting does not take into human behavior into account. If I have to do all the world and the government take 75%, why even both work hard?
Let me use static accounting in real world that you mind understand. We all love Apple's products, their demands always exceeded demands.
If Tim Cook (Apple CEO) use static accounting and say, we are selling iPad at $499 each and our revenue is 100 million on it. If I we just add one zero at the back and sell it for $4,990, our revenue will be 1 billion. If they do that, only the fanboy of the fanboy will buy it. Not only they will not get the revenue of 100 millions, they will get a lot less.
