There is no hope in sight for the economy with all the upcoming taxes that will fall on our shoulders.

I thought Obama said no new taxes for the middle class?? Guess he forgot he said that.

You know why?

When the GOP was in power in the mid-to-late 90s, and when they were still actually practicing what they preached re: small government, they made a law that any law that'd increase the deficit must expire after 10 years.

Therefore, the only way Bush could get his tax reform through, since it'd increase the deficit, was to make it "sunset" after 10 years.

The Paris Hilton Tax (i.e. estate tax) included.
