Do you prefer a deal with all of Bush's tax cuts extended for 2 more years or none of them extended?

[mtnsnake]

Apparently from what they're telling us, it's either all or none. So which choice do you prefer?

1. Why can't you do a *proper* DU..

...poll with all kinds of extraneous, question-begging choices that aren't actually on offer and will never see the light of Congressional day?

Spoilsport.

2. LOL

3. I would rather see none. My reason is very simple, and quite logical .............

By not extending the cuts we will see some short term minor damage to our economy. But by extending the cuts we will see long term major damage to our economy. As it is, our national debt is probably about double of what we could support over the long term.

4. I agree with you...in the long run giving the rich tax cuts is really bad

for our country..

5. None. How many taxpayers does it take to pay 700 billion dollars.

6. I would have prefered the media

To cover the multiple choices, like also the choice of a bill that had raises to higher brackets, while protecting lower brackets.

If you let someone set a two way decision, they always will try to set a win win for them.

That is how most of it is done.


Give someone a choice, and define two losing options, that is how much of manipulations of perceptions are done.


Also why in dune, he said the world was not a maze, but a wide open field with a few obsticals.


That is also why they got President Obama on the one side of the two side argument, and the concepts on the other.

To once again try to make you have to make a choice between the two, that is dividing the opponent.


Hence why you argue to get the bill in that is better.


It is easy to see, they wanted to split the democrats by setting up a two choice option, by only covering that bill, and not the bills before it that were more choices.

I say find a third choice.

Even 'take it or leave it' is setting up a two choice option. Get someone to make a Sophie's choice, that is why you don't let someone define your choices. Get a bill out that is what you support, or when they bring up the 'two choices' mention the other bill you support that tries to correct consolidations.

Don't let them make you choose between two bad choices they think they can give you.



And although though many of you only found bad in things, I find good in the song 'I chose me'. Do you get it now. And I could show the 'end timers' are messed up, but would have to do what they do that is messed up. But anyways, I am not worried.

[Nay]

7. You know what? I don't give a fuck. Either way, Dems get the blame and

Pubs make hay out of it. I'm tired of the whole subject, and tired of how stupidly the dems have handled it. I expect better, and I can see I'm never going to get it.

[golfguru]

8. So y'all have no sympathy for all those

in lower brackets who will be hurt the most? The 10% bracket jumps to 15%
if all tax cuts expire. That will hurt the lower income people a lot more than the top 2% who will not have to give up any goodies in every day life.

[Phx_Dem]

9. I prefer to stick it to the poor. Why should I care about them?

And the middle class can suck it too. It's much more important that we don't compromise with Republicans.
