19. I've been saying that about the Bush tax cuts for over a year

why are people just catching on now?

I'm not crazy about the cuts to domestic spending that are included with going off that cliff but the Bush tax cuts need to go away so we can pass our own tax cut bill. The Obama Tax Cuts must be the new norm and the new phrase used for the next decade.

I would even try to include a higher tax bracket or two for people making very large amounts of money and place higher rates on them. Let the (R)s fight a tax cut for 98% of American, even if it does raise taxes on 1%. Screw 'em.
