Are you for or against giving those making $250K a year a new tax cut equal to the expiring cuts. Yes or no?

A joke? Sounds good ranting on a website, but there is a real world. These are not imaginary people. Cutting someones salary by 20%, and taking away 75% their health care and pension is a big, big deal. And absolutely the wrong thing to do during a recession, btw. As is not renewing unemployment.

Seems basic Eco 101 policy realities are taking a back seat to disproven trickle-down fantasy nowadays.
