Obama has staked out a very dogmatic and inflexible position on class-warfare tax hikes and he obviously wants all of us to think only the “rich” will be impacted.

I think it’s foolish to penalize investors, entrepreneurs, small business owners and other upper-income taxpayers. What nation, after all, has ever prospered by placing obstacles in front of those who create jobs? France? Don’t make me laugh.

But I’m also amazed that anyone believes Obama isn’t going to screw the middle class as well. The simple reality is that there aren’t enough rich people to finance big government.

There are some honest folks on the left who admit that they want ordinary people on the chopping block.
The New York Times endorsed higher taxes on the middle class in 2010.

The then-House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer also gave a green light that year to higher taxes on the middle class.

Earlier this year, MIT professor and former IMF official Simon Johnson argued that the middle class should pay more tax.

The Washington Post also called for higher taxes on the middle class this year, as did Vice President Joe Biden’s former economist.

A New York Times columnist also called for broad-based tax hikes on the middle class this year.

The goal is to tax the successful to give it to the parasite class. Everyone must be equal as this is communism.

O'let's not bring up the pooor,. Let's take down the rich!

Romney's plan would also have raised taxes on the middle class.

It is pretty much unavoidable.

After we pay for Social Security outlays, Medicare, Medicaid, and interest on the national debt, there is no money left for Defense, food stamps, roads, bridges, NASA, or hookers and blow for GSA parties.

You could not cut SS, Medicare, and Medicaid enough to pay for Defense.

The middle class and poor pay by losing their jobs when companies and the rich are taxed too much.

What have the rich given us?

Electricy
Cars
Trains
Internet
DVD's
blueray
satellites
computers
ect

It takes money to move something forward. So you're saying you'd rather live in Cuba that still relies on things from the 1950s?

The only reason it's "inevitable" is the fact that politicians are lying spineless scumbags. There's no sound economic reason for raising taxes. In fact, all the economic arguments run in the opposite direction.

It's a double edge sword as extending the cuts does add to the debt, but on the other hand it takes away capital. Capital to hire and grow a business. I'd extend it for the middle class up to a million dollar per year and end it for the rich(million dollars/year). The most important thing to do is to get the poor into the middle class.

We can't keep growing the welfare(food stamps, ect) class or we're going to be ate a live. It might be a good idea to reform our educational system and even put some money into infrastructure to push hiring. Secondly, I'd reform this educational system in the way that the teacher is expected to increase the test performance to be paid...This would encourage a more educated population.

We must end the free shit give away. It's deadly.
