No, I support dropping the tax cuts to the rich, but keeping them for the middle class

Taxes go up and down over time as political and fiscal situations change.

If we cancel out, avoid, or reverse any tax cuts for the rich, than every time taxes go up they go up for the rich (perhaps just for the rich), and every time they go down, the rich don't get any lower taxes.

So then your have a built in ratchet where taxes for the rich only go up, and over time they go up, and up, and up.

Maybe I'm reading your wrong, and you think there is something highly specific about the latest broad based tax cuts (broad based obviously including tax cuts for the rich, but not being limited to such cuts), and that in the past you didn't have problems with such cuts, and in the future you would be ok with tax cuts for the rich.

But if you are not just against these cuts, but any tax cuts for the rich ever, your basically setting us up for socialism.
