"A top House Democrat said Monday there's room to revise the contentious tax-cut package hammered out between the White House and Senate Republicans."

-Meanwhile, over on the Republican side, top House "leaders" said absolutely nothing in response...

This is all just a charade. At the end of the day, what you see now will be the best that will happen. It is going to change for the worse but it will pass anyway.

I getting sick of this crap and I know I’m not alone .We should do to the Rats what they did in France during their Revolution.

I blame the Republicans. Seriously. Even though they know we rejected this Congress in the last election and more conservative are on the way, these Republican quislings are already compromising, aka surrendering on key points. Restoring the tax cuts a few months later than expected won’t destroy the USA, but a lack of political will to cut spending might. CUT SPENDING! REDUCE GOVERNMENT!

C’mon ya stupid bahstuhds!

You won and there isn’t a thing the other side can do about it.

You will stand up to them and you will vote “our” conscience.

We are watching and so far our hopes for your representing our interests seem to like skating the edges of thin ice.

Get with it or you are out in the next election.

If this passes then the Republicans have learned nothing from the last election. It is business as usual with both parties fighting over the carcus of the taxpayer.

I notice there is no one talking about the earned income credit which is a rip off, or making all or part of the 49% that don't pay taxes pay. Sorry to say but all of our contributions, work and effort may well have been for nothing.

I don’t understand these people. Why do they want a huge tax on estates? The only reason I can think of is:

1) Envy on the part of liberal voters.

2) Pleasing voters on the part of liberal politicians

3) Just another step in taking total control of the public
