Okay lets go through this.
Taxes stayed the same.
Oops, I mean there is that death tax thing in there.
Deficit Spending goes up (GOP abandons pay as you go and paying for new spending)
PR campaign: Bush’s tax cuts become Obama’s tax cuts now that he has “stopped the GOP from raising taxes on middle class.”
What exactly is the win??
The death tax is coming back on January 1, 2011 no matter what thanks to the Bush signed on sunset which only gave us one year without the death tax. And it comes back with only a $1 million exemption and a rate of 55%.
Getting 0bama to agree to a $5 million exemption and a 35% rate is huge. This tax needs to go but the Dems were completely content to let it come back at its draconian levels. They know that most of their voters don’t have $1 million in taxable assets unless they have $100 million and can avoid parts of this tax.
