I figured it out years ago. The Dems will not be happy until they have complete and total control. In order to that they must have as many people as they can who are somehow beholden to govt. for thier daily life and livlihood. Like we didn’t see this coming. I figured it out years ago.

It ends the BDS pretty quickly. I always ask the liberal who spouts off about Bush’s tax cuts if they cashed the check he sent them or sent it back. It ends the BDS pretty quickly.

Furthermore, the deficit has decreased because of those tax cuts, and I don't know about anyone else, but I needed those cuts.

If it's weaker it's not from the taking less from our most productive members of our country, it's from the least efficient form of spending employed by our government. Taxation by it's very nature is the drag on the economy. Rusty – #16 Please show me how our economy is weaker?

While I understand there are people who want the 2001 and 2003 cuts to be revoked--and for good, sound reasons--I look at it from a different perspective. Being in a lower middle-class family (and trying desperatly to step up to a middle middle-class family), those cuts were a Godsend. If they want to really fix the problems, go after all the pork--starting with Murtha. I honestly don't know what we'll do if this gigantic tax increase makes it through. I'm already working my fingers to the bone in the jobs I have. I can't imagine having to add another.

Either we pay for it now or our children pay for it later (with interest). The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts were incredibly stupid considering they were met with an <strong>increase</strong> in spending. Republicans trying to have their cake and eat it too only accomplished weakening the economy. I don't know enough about this bill to say if I support it or not, but I definitely support abolishing those cuts. Or getting rid of a bunch of useless pork. But both Dems and Republicans refuse to do the latter so the former is a necessity. Well both Republicans and Democrats have proven themselves unable to get off the government teat.
