I am saying the same thing you just said. Taxes are going to go up. It
would behoove people to lock in their gains at the lower rate but if
many people try to do it, the gains will go away. That is the classic
game of chicken. I just think the cliff is in December so the question
is only, "when do you jump out of the car"?

in the last 30 years the richest 1% have had a 500% REAL increase in
income.

any reason they SHOULDNT pay more taxes?

I think they should but as long as they are pumping close to a billion
into an election cycle, the whores in DC are not going to do it.

dunno...the dems are pushing to keep the middle class tax cuts and
increase them on the rich. but the right isnt' buying it

I only have to point to the health care bill. After lots of promises
to help the little guy, the Senate let a couple of UHC lobbyists write
a bill that simply handed 20-30 million new customers into the
existing system ... at the point of a government gun.

yep. the price of closing off a right wing filibuster
