We’ll see how this works out. Maybe if the GOP makes Obama and the Dems vote against zeroing out the inheritance tax and other detestable provisions of this plan in the new congress, it will bring the senate and the presidency back to GOP control.

What a hoot!! zero has to plead with his own party to support the Bush tax cuts that he has routinely blamed for the economy he inherited.

It is to laugh!!!

Let’s see if the MSM continues to call them “tax cuts for the rich.”

No, they won’t. Because that involves the facts and facts don’t matter to today’s journalists.

Democrats have no idea as to how wealth is created. Their demand-side economics is ruining our nation.

It . . . slashes the employee payroll tax by 2 percent for one year

Gee, isn't that what Bush tried to do a few years back, except that he wanted the condition in place that the money go into a retirement account like an IRA or 401(k). As I recall, the Democrats screamed bloody murder at that, yet now they allow the same tax reduction with no provision that the money go towards a retirement account. What hypocrites!

I would encourage everyone with a 401(k) to direct that additional 2% into that account.

To see Bush’s predecessor and successor lobbying for his tax cuts brought a certain joy to my heart.

The estate tax is the most vile act of the Federal government. It exempts corporations and penalized private ownership.

And it is still for two years - right?

So, in two years, Tea Party candidates will be campaigning for reduced taxes, etc. With this crappy tax “plan” the economy will be in no better shape, and the libs will use it against us. “We already tried cutting taxes and that didn’t work.....”

I got this off Hot Air- they say they think this is it (although the title is mislabeled):

Seeing how this bill originated in the Senate instead of the House, how can it possibly become law?

That has been my question all along. Is the “hand me down” tax temporary?
