    The tax cuts (actually letting people keep what they earn) are going away. The libs will have more other people’s money to waste.

    i.e. Rich people stimulus is okay and should be permanent, but poor people stimulus will destroy the country.

    Gosh Gricks, aren’t you learning SO MUCH from ScottPM, Howie and Ima?
    The three are so very professorial—-must all hold degrees from Glen Beck U.

    These are not new taxes, they are the taxes the people who can afford to pay should have been paying all along.

    I may be misreading this dialog (no great surprise), but isn’t part of the proposal by Obama to raise the tax rate on capital gains and dividends? I am retired and a portion of my income is dividends and cap gains from stocks. I kind of got lost in all the accusations being bandied about. Sometimes the back and forth on these columns can be hard to follow.

    The Bush tax-cuts for the wealthy are not sustainable and have to go. The tax cuts for the middle class need to stay (for now at least) in order to prevent a recession. Thirty percent of the 2008 stimulus was tax cuts for small businesses. This cartoon has no merit or base in the factual world.

    Tom the Dancing Bug today has the REAL answer for those arguing to defend the “1%”.

    Yep, by doing nothing and letting the taxes go back to higher levels it’s the same thing as raising them. Even a 5 year old would be able to figure that out.

    So you aren’t paying taxes at all, but demand others pay your way? If you aren’t being hit by the Alternative Tax you either will be or SHOULD be. I demand you pay your fair share as I am being forced to.

    The Bush tax cuts were across the board and not only on the ‘rich’. Small business provide jobs and if they are taxed they will be hurt the worst. But you being a tyrant makes sense.

    Exactly just what part of the word “temporary” do you not understand?

    And nobody is saying that even those temporary increases should be increased for either middle class workers or for small businesses.

    If your taxable income is in excess of $200,000 to $250,000 per year (with all the tax deductions for small business) then you sure as heck are not a small business person!

    @Robert Landers

    By the way Ima, you do know that a great many of the “small” businesses in this country only exist as a tax write off on wages otherwise earned by those very small business people that own and run them?

    But know, that these are not tax deductions that I disagree with, as many of these people are indeed good hard working Americans, and should get every break possible. But, even that level is NOT what is being discussed in the negotiations to avoid the fiscal cliff that would hurt everybody, possibly even you!

    The richest people in the world and you still want more.


    Sheer unadultered greed.

    How come letting expire “temporary” tax cuts to stimulate the economy after 9/11 with an expiration date set by a previous president, and extended 2 times already, somehow turned into " libs" raising taxes?

    -
    Bush himself is not responsible for the fact that the tax cuts were temporary. It has to do with some senate rule and passing bills that alter revenue or deficits, or something like that.
    If you want to look it up, I think it’s called the “Byrd Rule” named after Senator Byrd.
    -
    As far as how it is considered "raising taxes " by allowing the cuts to expire -
    higher income people (not me) will have to pay more in taxes. So, in effect, their taxes “will be raised.”
