Yes its very worrisome...and I was upset thinking on an agreement and not going over the cliff we were still gonna see 20% capital gains. Hard times ahead.

 

[digimon7068]

eh...many of the bush-era tax cuts have to die...and the ones that don't, need to be modified, in favor of additional taxes...aaaannnnnnddddd, we need spending cuts, but not with the military...the deficit needs to start going the other way ASAP...it's really that simple.

 

[digimon7068]

oh and, the death of the bush-era tax cuts, simply puts us back where we were when slick willy was in office and almost all you motherfuckers just looooovvvveddd that fucking asshole, so you should be overjoyed by going over the fiscal cliff!!

Funny how the GOP leaders now admit that increasing revenue is necessary, but choke on raising the top marginal rate. Assuming the same increase in revenue, what's the difference? Well, besides the Grover Norquist promise, the difference is that they're lying about the loopholes, and hope their base will still be able to circumvent them. Raising the marginal rate means an increased likelihood that "the rich" will actually end up paying somewhat more. Can't have that...

the "rich" is defined by 250k between a married couple, i believe 200k for a single tax filer.
doesn't seem that rich to me, personally i could get more behind a tax hike for those a million and above.
