This bill would have covered the most vulnerable...99.8% of taxpayers.

Some millionaires may be on the edge, but there are a lot more businesses on the edge between $250,000 and $1 M.

This bill would have protected these smaller businesses, portrayed the GOP as compromising, and put the onus on the WH to compromise further with spending cuts.

Conceding the meme that the top 1% does not contribute enough is sheer idiocy. BUT, that’s John Boehner. Besides, the GOP has already passed THEIR plan months ago. Ovomit wants to throw America over another fiscal cliff, while blaming the GOP. Don’t you realize this yet? Bob

Well, the tax rates are just going to go up to where they were before the Bush Tax Cuts were passed. It will be the Clinton Tax rates. The economy was great then, right? I want taxes cut too, but at least when the tax cuts for the rich expire, everyone will realize that the tax cuts were actually for everyone.

This bill would have basically admitted that the Bush-Era, and tax cuts in general caused the current economic issues we face. Issues caused by government expansion. (spending)

The "fiscal Cliff" will go a long way toward cutting the size of government.

It will hurt like hell but I believe in the long run we will be better off.

All bubbles have to pop eventually. Even government bubbles.
