You chose to ignore the main point I was making. I should have known better
than to mix two ideas in the same message for those who like to pick and
chose.

It is better to let everyone's tax rate go up Jan. 1 than to hide
everything in a new budget plan that no one knows what's in it. When
people see how directly where the tax money is coming from they will pay
attention. Congress is great at hiding expenditures so that the common
people don't suspect. They will think the other guy is the one taking the
hit. All taxes come only from the people; any other organization or
business simply passes them on as higher prices borne by the same people.
The difference being that people are not aware that the taxes are being
passed through.
No matter what happens on Jan. 1 the bills will have to be paid. Better
to do it now than a year from now. The fiscal cliff is no more than a
scare tactic by the Obama crew to scare the American people into granting
more taxes to the govt. so they can spend more.
The Republicans will not commit suicide. It is a long time to the next
election. People will forget.
Congress is very good at keeping a record of each congressman's voting
record. That's always the first place any political opponent would look
for ammunition to unseat an incumbent. In this way the people would
definitely be reminded of an incumbent's vote against lowering taxes on
ordinary Americans, no matter how long until the next election.

In accordance with the Budget Control Act of 2011, taxes rates will go
up for everybody on January 1, 2013, back to the tax rates in effect
during President Clinton's years in office.
If the Tea Party, and other Republicans, drive the country off the
fiscal cliff, January 1, 2013 a bill would be introduced by Democrats in
congress to lower taxes back to the Bush era rates for all Americans who
make $250,000.00 or less. The tax rates for Americans making more than
$250,000.00 would remain at the rates in effect during President
Clinton's years.
This would put Tea Party Republicans, and other Republicans, who have
made a deal with the Devil, (eg Grover Norquist), in a very awkward
position; because, voting against reinstatement of the Bush era tax cut
for ordinary Americans would be political suicide. LOL
