Arithmetic impaired??

It almost certainly won't. The Republicans don't want to allow the rate to

rise for the top 2% in income. They claim, falsely, that actual small
business would be hit.

The Republicans and the Teabaggers claim they want to reduce the deficit,
yet they have no problem adding another $3T to it with tax breaks for the
rich.

It's bad enough that the deficit will increase with the tax breaks for the

middle and lower income groups, but at this point, there's little choice,
since raising their taxes would do much greater harm.

You missed your career in writing children's books. Do you have even a tiny
grasp that ****ing trillions of dollars down the drain is the opposite side
of the T chart? It's your money - if you want it in the hands of the DC
criminals, send it to them.
