If the tax rate for the wealthy were permanent, you would have made your first correct point. But, since it was considered a short term measure by Bush when he proposed it and had an expiration date, to extend that expiration date is a tax cut.

almost everyone i know who promoted higher taxes works extra hard to reduce their own. the major point is being missed - our money IS debt. there is NEVER enough money in the system to pay back prior debts unless all the interest paid by debtors is accessible to debtors - and this clearly isn't the case. paying off debt is IMPOSSIBLE under our current system BY DESIGN. we need to change money so Big Capital doesn't suck 3-5% of the nation's money supply out of the system and into their pockets. that's why bernanke targets exponential growth into eternity - a logical impossibility. but it is required to keep the system from collapsing as his employers rake in the benefits of unlimited USURY. paying down the debt is IMPOSSIBLE BY DESIGN. the debt pushers want a return on their capital and the only way to get is to push more debt. everyone works for the debt pushers and guys like Knighty seem to suffer from stockholm syndrome... or they just like the benefits of the criminal system that systematically rpes and pillages society more than he's offended by the rping and pillaging. end debt based money. end the corruption it breeds. end the Big Capital vice grip on all major institutions via their control of the money and the money / credit supply. everything else is sprinkling water on a wild fire. a simple intro into money as debt... youtube.com the secret of oz youtube.com
