The deal allows the Bush tax rates to expire, that is a tax increase......
Call and tell them to vote HELL NO.
Well, to be accurate the Bush Tax Cuts expire in October 2012. This will have to be renewed. If not, the markets will head south just a month before the general elections.
It doesn’t “allow” them to expire, it might not include a provision making them permanent, but they were due to expire anyway.
Hopefully the new Republican President and Congress can implement them retroactively on 1/20/13 the day we get our country back.
