Obama Won't Extend Bush Tax Cuts Again: Pledge To House Dems

The President responded by saying it was vital to have revenues as part of the mix, stressing that a budget can't be balanced on non-defense discretionary spending or the "backs of the most vulnerable." Obama added, according to the member, that, "he would not support extending the Bush tax cuts for the top two percent again no matter what hostages Republicans took."

That line in the sand was greeted warmly by attendees, many of whom were disillusioned with the administration's decision to cut a deal with congressional Republicans in December 2010 that allowed all of the Bush tax cuts to continue.

The politics now are notably different. As pressure has mounted for lawmakers to make major cuts, both to discretionary spending and entitlement programs, Democrats have turned to raising revenues as a partial budget substitute. As a Democratic source briefed on Thursday's meeting relayed, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was adamant that the party not cut Medicare benefits. A recent upset victory in New York's 26th district has seemingly provided the party with the type of template to win the tax-and-spend debate.

The stakes are high, watch the Repugs crumble and shake.

Cool. That means an extra 3 grand I get to fork over and I'm a middle class tax payer, i.e. I can't afford it.
That's based on the last years tax estimate if the tax cuts had not been extended.

If you're middle class and earn less than 250,000 you don't have shit to worry about so stop stressing.

Jesus!!!!

And you seriously believe that???


Obama is waiting till he's re-elected. After that nothing will stop him from raising our taxes or instituting fees that will cost us where it really hurts.

Ever since the last election all he's talked about is raising taxes. Taxing the rich will not be enough to pay off our debt. He's gonna have to 'reluctantly' raise all of our taxes.

For those who live in New York, New Jersey, and California they know that the government rules their lives and higher taxes and higher expenses are pretty much a way of life.

 

[The Rabbi]

Obama talks tough but in the end caves to the Democrats in Congress. If the Dums see their re-election chances hinging on extending the tax cuts they will do so.

 

[rdean]

Why do right wingers crawl for the rich? Look how many jobs companies created since Bush's original tax cuts. The same companies have historic profits. How many more jobs have been created since the Bush extensions? And yet the right is still begging to be screwed. I just don't get it. Anything to appease their masters. Only those masters will never be appeased.

Bush unemployment rate never exceeded 6% until the Dums took control of Congress.
Why do you bend over for the socialist-progressives and their job-killing agenda?
