My business is slowly recovering from your 1st year in office.
I was considering hiring 2 people in a few months, but I will have to hold off on that and use that money to pay my family's higher taxes.
Please Stop your jihad on America Business!!!

Because they will ‘change’ the name from what they called it, ‘a tax cut for the rich’, now they will call it a tax cut for the ‘middle class’. Why?
Elections are coming .
WE ARE COMING FOR YOU CONGRESS.
Because after all, only rich folks got the Bush tax cuts.
I am of course using THIS administrations’ definition of “rich”, which keeps getting revised down every day.
Eventually if you are not on some form of government welfare you will be classified as “rich”.
Tim Geithner is an idiot!!
Which is to say, none.
I will make sure that I flood the IRS with paperwork on every purchase that I can. I want them to feel like they're drinking out of a fire hydrant.
Don't feed the beast, CHOKE the beast with paper.
for the libs that lurk and read this, people like me studied during college and banged your girlfriend while you smoked pot, played with yourselves and talked about how great you were without doing anything.
Stock market was up today on good tax rate news.
Stock market will crash tomorrow based on Obamanomics.
I can see a Tax Revolt from my house!
“Mr. Geithner said there is ‘still some uncertainty about how strong the recovery is going to be,’ which may be impacting spending decisions by businesses and individuals.”
So let’s kill the recovery by raising taxes. Rocket Scientist.
BTTT
Glenn Beck is right. Congress has been shut out of budget decisions.
I was arguing with a Lib the other day about “wealthy” Americans. She considered anyone that made more than $35K a year to be “rich”.
“that U.S. firms are “doing very well competing around the world.”
Gee Tim, what firms would those be Tim? How many small businesses are in that count?
I don’t understand how this contradicts yesterday’s article at all.
The Dems emphasized middle class. It was pretty obvious they were going to let the rich suffer, not EXTEND ALL the cuts.
This article is just being a bit overdone.
Hopes? I never even considered the possibility that the tax cuts would be extended. My financial plans are cast in concrete and assume not only that the tax cuts would not be extended but also that overt and hidden taxes would rise for the entire four year nightmare. Once Mr. “Spread-Other-People’s-Wealth-Around” took office, I assumed there would be no good news from DC until the socialist left office. So far, I’m been right.
I thought we were already in the 'Recovery Summer'.
They were not just for the wealthy! This should cause a major spike in unemployment with employers cutting more to make up for what this will do this causing lower tax revenues.Good job there Obama!
Not that big a problem for Timmie; he doesn’t pay his taxes anyway.
“Business always wants their taxes lower and always wants to live with less regulation”
I know, Timuh!, aren’t those businesses that pay your bloated salary, kickbacks, payola, etc., just a big pain in your collectivist *ss?
You slimy thug!
How about removing your boot from the necks of small business?
This man is insane.
Wealth has nothing to do with these tax cuts. These are income taxes - not wealth taxes. A billionaire making $100,000 a year pays the same amount of tax as a person half a million dollars in debt who makes $100,000 a year.
