100 Reasons Why President Obama Is NOT The Same As President Bush

[geek tragedy]

96. You have provided zero economic analysis.

It is unclear whether you have thought through the economic consequences of the approach you would have taken, I.e. let everyone's taxes go up.

Taxes for the rich went up, not down, under Obama. You are complaining because they didn't go all the way back up to where they were when Clinton was President. The only way to have achieved this would have been to let everyone's taxes go up, plus the failure to adjust the AMT and expiration of EITC.

You personally preferred that course. The vast majority of Americans rejected your preference. Shockingly, most working people opposed having their taxes go up

Obama did not betray anyone with the fiscal cliff deal. He negotiated a deal you personally found insufficiently impure but that the vast majority of Americans supported.

Your sense of betrayal is personal--you do not speak for anywhere near a majority of working Americans.

A new United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll shows that only 26 percent of the public wants to see all of the tax breaks created during the George W. Bush administration, which are set to expire at year’s end, extended for at least another year. And only 18 percent want the tax breaks across all income levels made permanent, the position taken by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

...
In the poll, 47 percent of respondents said they wanted to see the tax breaks extended only for those earning less than $250,000. Eighteen percent said they prefer that all the tax breaks simply expire, which would result in higher taxes across the income spectrum.
