   Is there a sentient human being who didn’t know this was going to have to happen? Government expenditures are always funded by the middle class.

   It doesn’t help that the taxes on the richest were reduced, putting the burden more squarely on the rest of us.

   edgar, appropriate question … to the best of my knowledge there are no tax increases being discussed, and certainly not for middle class. I think your statement is accurate that it seems the tax cuts Bush gave the wealthy may be allowed to expire in 2010, though that will be another battle where conservative commentators will try to convince middle-income folks that the increase will apply to them too.

   Dem Senator warns of “Big, Big Tax”On Middle Class in Baucus Bill

    So, it’s not technically a tax on the middle class (the tax is on the employer, not the employee, whom pass the costs down the line). One could, potentially, create an amendment that states that the employer may not pass the cost on to the employees. Remember, none of the bills are final yet so everyone is going ape over a draft.

    By the way, nearly every liberal I talk to hates the Baucus bill (not sure if you’ll hear about that on the ‘liberal’ MSM).
