I think this sums up how I feel about the topic but I always give the benefit of the doubt so I ask those of you who listen to limbaugh, beck and others...have they every given exact examples of how they used the bush tax cuts over the last few years? The argument always is that the rich create jobs and pay others. great...so how did these guys do it for the last few years? what jobs did they create or people they hired that weren't already within their companies? These guys are on the national stage and have millions of people listening to them so I would hope they at least gave specifics.

Probably because Democrats pretty much believe anyone with a house and a job is rich and Republicans know that a lot of people who make $255K a year are small business owners who put money back into their businesses by hiring employees. In many places in this country $250K a year isn't "rich" when you end up paying $500K for a 900 sq foot town home.

In a word, yes, and the Republican message is fashioned so that appeals to a group of Americans that look like they do, think like they do, act like they do, believe what they do, and worship like they do. So what if some of their economic parties aren't in the best interest of many middle and working class Republicans. At least they say all the right things.

It's like a guy that seduces a woman but really has no long term interest. As long as he says the right thing and gives her some measure of satisfaction she is happy.

Actually the GOP wants to keep the cuts for everyone, not just the rich.

Please get the facts correct and stop posting lies and MSNBC BS.

On Jan 1 if these cuts expire it will hurt more middle class Americans then any rich person by a long shot.

This tax cut was NOT just for the rich so you need to stop listening to the anti American MSNBC channel as they have no clue.

Again, if the tax cuts expire a family making 80k per year will lose hundreds of dollars a week in their first paycheck. This is hardly rich people.

Get the fact correct and understand the truth and stop being a cheerleader for the do not know anything liberals.

To quote a psycho like Grayson says it all.

I heard today on the radio an economist predict that a person making $75K per year would see about $125 per week more taken in taxes.
That's $500 per month..$6000 per year for $75K job.
