who is they,, democrats... they do not care about high earners.. that is not where their votes come from.

Majority of voters i expect are lower income. bush tax cuts did nothing for me. Saved me maybe $58 dollars in tax. big deal. his study (tax neutral team) recommended increasing low income tax bracket from 10% to 15%,, that is a crime!
I believe maybe we shouldn't even have a tax for low income. Inflation, gasoline, heating costs , and food impact them as a percent of income much greater then upper middle income. These low income people also contribute to upper middle income profits too.

Personally, i think bush tax cuts when too far in favor of upper income and not far enough for lower income. I have no problem if they leave capital gains alone. Again i have no problem if the highest earned income bracket tax % was raised either. It's not necessary to bleed low income or penalize upper brackets but i think a return to their prior tax bracket is no big time burden on them.

i believe republicans better come up with some great ideas on how to cut spending, stop the nonsense of give aways and present those ideas to offset democrat proposed tax cuts. However, republicans are not fighters ,, outside of Rudy, they get the crap beat out of them and run away or fight with each other. They never stopped any spending but increased it in congress. they showed us how much faster they can take bribes , have sex encounters just as good or better than democrats. I see them losing more seats in congress house and senate and hopefully someone who will stand up for our country security,etc will get elected to hold the white house.
