Bush tax cuts for the rich will stay. |

Please, please be able to come back soon and tell me I was wrong.
But I don't think I'm going to be.

3. I foolishly engaged in some wishful thinking, yes. |
|
I was willing to consider the possibility that Obama might keep his word.
I'm still willing to consider that possibility, in fact - but very skeptical it will happen.

It is disgusting. All I have to say is that they better start hiring EVERYBODY.

6. Perhaps Obama will even tack on a few percentage points... |
|
...in the spirit of "compromise" and "bipartisanship" and all.

7. Can't they buckle down and use these last two months to extend them only for those under 250,000? |

9. If I was the WH I would stall and let them expire for everyone |
|
Force the GOP to take up tax cuts next year, then negotiate either a lesser cut on the top brackets, or even no cuts on a higher income level, like $1m+ stays at 39%.

11. I Like That Strategy... |
|
I just feel bad for the non-rich. It will hurt them more than the rich and the Repugs will use that against the Dems.
