WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama promised liberal groups on Tuesday that the Bush tax cuts will end for the nation's wealthiest, according to a statement from the progressive group MoveOn.

"MoveOn’s 7 million members will be pleased to know that President Obama today strongly reiterated his steadfast commitment to ensuring that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent finally end December 31—and to protecting the middle class in the process," said the group's political action executive director Justin Ruben after meeting with Obama at the White House.

In his daily briefing, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney rejected the GOP's approach to raise revenues by cutting loopholes and deductions from the tax code, saying raising taxes on the rich was non-negotiable for Obama.

But Carney did not say whether Obama would stand by his "wealthy" cutoff line at $200,000 for individuals or $250,000 for families — a response to disagreement among Democrats over where to raise taxes and where to keep the rates the same or lower. Sen. Chuck Schumer has proposed raising the threshold to $500,000 or even $1 million.

Obama the GREAT UNITER

this country will never be the same when this divider in AS PRESIDENT gets done

 

[Mr. H.]

The tax cuts came with a sunset clause. What's the use if it isn't adhered to- for everyone.

Target the "rich", placate the "poor"? Didn't we hear this song 4 years ago? It's old and stale just like that idiot-who-shall-not-be-named.

Kinda blows, doesn't it. Sure would be nice to have groups who agree with your POV taking part in decisions on what happens to us, eh?

 

[SniperFire]

The Tea Party House won't let this happen.

If Owebama is doubling down, we will have the Fiscal Cliff.


Works for me.

 

[Stephanie]

I hope all these TAX increases hits you who voted for him right in WALLET

He won, you all want your agenda to become law of the land, find a better candidate and get rid of the Teaparty. Everybody hates them, even real Conservatives.

what I don't understand about the mantra coming from the right wing....

why do you bitch and moan about the middle class working Americans not owing income taxes at the end of the year due to legal deductions and credits, yet you have no problem what so ever defending the wealthiest when they use their legal deductions and credits to bring their tax obligations down like Mitt Romney by millions upon millions of dollars?

I just don't get you guys?

and also, why do you bitch and moan and groan on not raising taxes on anyone and not letting the Bush tax cuts expire, (aka Grover Norquist) on the one hand and then in the same breath bitch and moan and groan and whine about the "47 %" who owe no income taxes on the other hand, when the whole reason they owe no income taxes is due to the Bush Tax cuts that gave them extra child tax credits and school loan deductions etc etc etc?

Yet you don't want those Bush Tax cuts to go away????

Please explain this conundrum...

Obama and the Democrats passed and signed an extension to the tax cuts in 2009. If the extension was good then, why is it not good now?
The extra taxes on "the rich" will bring in $80B by static counting (the actual take will be much less). That is nothing compared to the 1.2T in annual deficit. The Democrats are creating a sideshow of class warfare to distract attention from the main circus which is super-sized spending in Washington.
Screw compromise. Do nothing and let the budget deal go into effect. Let the Dums run on that in 2014.

You obviously failed to pay attention to the entire election.
Romney's proposal was precisely to limit deductions for high income earners. It was also to lower their rates. They would end up paying more to the treasury, not less.
It is unfair to raise taxes on people who already pay taxes and leave people who do not pay taxes still not paying taxes. Is this really unclear?

Boehner should talk about this and nothing else.

And that miniscule $80 bn makes the assumption that raising taxes on job creators in a tough economy won't actually cost more in Fed tax receipts - and jobs - than it creates.

so are you saying that Mitt Romney was going to raise taxes on the middle class even though he swore up and down that he wouldn't?

 

[The Rabbi]

The libs talk about a $1T increase in revenue over 10 years and then pretend that there won't be a $10T+ increase in deficit in the same time period.
And people are so stupid they don't see this sleight of hand. All they want is to hear stick it to da man. Gimme my free cheese.
