IMHO This is one of the only “good” things in this plan.

It was insanity to reduce the revenue to a program that was already circling the drain and call it a “tax Cut”

Congress knows that when everyone else is shedding belongings, dipping into their savings to make ends meet and standing in line for buses or bread, they will still be drawing fat checks, great benefits and have the ability to give themselves another raise.

America proves [daily] that there will be no complaints.

Regardless of what our pols do, our taxes go up every month by 85 billion, when ben bernanke buys treasuries. Every dollar in your pocket has been devalued, everything costs more, this is a hidden tax amounting to 1 trillion dollars a year!

Again, CNN seems mystified about the reasons middle class tax rates were going to rise. Which is, of course, because a while back the Democrats opposed making the cuts permanent. These guys must live in a world of constant mystery, where stuff keeps happening with no causality, just a vague belief that if it's bad, it must be Bush's fault.

I await, most likely in vain, the day when they notice that those Bush “tax cuts for the rich” are the same tax cuts they're now reporting benefit the middle class. I guess cognitive dissonance is bred out in J school these days.

If you hear liberals complaining about their pay dropping by 2%, point out that obama could have cut the middle class taxes by an extra 2% to make up for it.

[who knows what evil?]

Smaller paychecks...woo-hoo!

[Moleman]

This tax revison should have been made permanent as well!!!!!

That WASN’T a “tax cut”.

They were just taking away from Socialist Security, causing it to become insolvent much sooner.

I just got hit. FICA. Plus my wonderful CA taxes.

Gotta love that I am now missing about $160 more every month. (From what I can figure out on our pay statements.... I might be wrong and it is more...) Of course this is on top of my “through the roof” taxes the fine government already takes.

Robbery, pure and simple.
