Hey, in two years, if Obama eliminates all the Bush tax cuts unilaterally, without adjustment or any consideration to the economic realities of the time, you can come back and say, "I told you so!".

riot the point is this , things are bad , they may or may not be getting better , taxes are scheduled to rise next year on all income levels , do you really believe that this slow turning barge we are on will be able to handle higher taxes in 2011? What will a short term tax cut in '09 really be worth if we are still stuck in the mud next year or even growing slightly and everyone's taxes go back to the highest levels in over a decade?If the administration needs time for all the inherited problems that are on their plate , why not extend the bush tax cuts till the end of obama's 1st term ????

no main main point here is that next year (2011) we are all facing hefty tax increases the bottom rate is going up as well as the top rate

at best the economy will still be in the beginning of it's turnarond phase , why risk ruining the turnaround by hitting every working american with a tax increase

call your congress leader and senator today and tell them you do want the bush tax cuts to expire
