Aggie, Not to be one way, but... With annual budget deficits well into the trillions of clownbucks and the nation having been continuously at war for the past 8 years, these are the horrendous tax increases that have got you riled? << eliminate the temporary tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 for wealthy taxpayers, whom Obama defined during the campaign as those earning more than $250,000 a year. Those tax breaks would be permitted to expire on schedule for the 2011 tax year, when the top tax rate would rise from 35 percent to more than 39 percent. Obama also proposes to maintain the tax on estates worth more than $3.5 million, instead of letting it expire next year. >> Wow, top rate rising from 35 to 39 percent for those with incomes over $250,000 in a time of war. Totally unprecedented. Un-freaking-believable! Will the constant call to sacrifice never end? The "greatest generation" would certainly never have stood for any crap like this. Jack
