    you mean the 'save the top 2% bill..
    No, it's save the 100% of the tax tax payers bill.

    Why do you want to discriminate against the rich?

    For those not reading the bill, near the beginning it says:

    Section 303 of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 is repealed.
    This section reads:

    SEC. 303. SUNSET OF LE.
    All provisions of, and amendments made by, this le shall
    not apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008,
    and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall be applied and
    administered to such years as if such provisions and amendments
    had never been enacted.

    Why do you want to help them so much...it's not like you're ever going to be rich...stop living in a fantasy world...do you think they need helping...do you think by expiring those tax breaks they got will cripple the super rich...

    All this is, is the proposed extension of the Bush tax cuts...to EVERYONE including the super rich...what is the point of providing the entire text...everyone already knows what the GOP is proposing...

    I'm against the Republicans and Democrats on this one. The tax cuts need to expire for everyone. It will hurt at first but it will be better in the long run.

    People don't like the rich cuz they want America to fail, because they don't want the rich to take their extra tax savings and invest it in the free market or hire 1 or 2 other people for their own businesses - that is assuming the rich won't just save their money cuz the rich know the sky is falling (economically, that is!).

    Thanks for posting this tho, I might read it sometime.

    Unlike you, i don't want to attack people who have achieved what I haven't. Your at ude is anti-American. We should all want to strive to be wealthy, and pretend that these tax increases affect us.

    We disagree, on the necessity of the expiration, but I do agree that all classes need to bear the increase equally if that occurs.

    I wonder if they ever tried to get a job from someone who used to be rich, but can no longer afford to employ anyone?

    No, but do you think that increasing their tax burden by an extra 15% will really do more good than harm?

    more revenue from these people means less spending and support of the economy they can do.

    More people will lose jobs.

    Ever get a job full time job from another common person?

    Agree. Not only that, they should probably be voting on a tax hike.

    If you say so.

    I guess we'll see. when the taxes increase again in this already bad economy, I will all but guarantee a deeper problem with our economy.

    Remember what I say today. If taxes go back up. We are ed. Just wait and see.

    Since your praised 'trickled down economics' is what got us to this point in the first place, frankly, your 'guarantees' are worth as much as your posts.

    The Bush administration and its glorious tax cuts helped net +3 million jobs.

    The Clinton administration and its evil socialist marginal tax rates helped net +23.1 million jobs.

    That is not what got us where we are today. Our tax system did.

    Tax policy is to blame for the Panic of 2008? That's a brand new one on me.

    Deficit financed tax cuts on top of two foreign wars sure didn't help, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't what you were referring to.
