Undoing BushCo is not unlike undoing that pesky button after Thanksgiving dinner. You can breathe again:
The House is unlikely to extend President George W. Bush’s cuts for taxpayers earning more than $250,000, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Wednesday.
Hoyer said tax cuts for those making under $250,000 were likely to be extended.
“I think we will continue the middle-class [tax cuts] but the brackets above $250,000 will not be continued,” Hoyer said.
Now all we'll hear about is the political risk, hand wringing, vicious attacks, lies about "raising" taxes (as opposed to restoring them to pre-BushCo rates), a doomed Obama, and the demise of the Democratic party.
How about the equity of such a move? How about reviving the middle class and-- What's it called again? Oh yeah-- democracy.
Or wasn't giving big fat money-laden corporations power over our elections enough?
