re: #224 Killgore Trout

The problem with the Bush tax cuts expiring like this is they raise taxes for everybody, not just the wealthy. In today’s shitty economy I don’t think that’s a good thing. The Dems might try to re-introduce the cuts for lower income brackets but I guess the Republicans will insist on cuts for the wealthy too.

The tax cuts for the middle class aren’t that big…for a family making 75K, the difference was about 1300 dollars (about 100 bucks a month). Cumulatively, they’re huge, and make up the bulk of revenue. So to people complaining about paying their taxes, I simply have to say “Shut the fuck up and pay.” Taking care of my parents’ medical, having good roads and bridges, and employing police and fire is worth it.
