<<<<<No, you don't. With no agreement, EVERYONE's taxes will rise to Clinton-era levels, as the Bush tax cuts automatically expire.>>>>> You will never get to an agreement that way. NEVER! So you are willing to risk going off the fiscal cliff and all that may bring and for what? You think that will get us any progress on our debt? Not a chance if its an us vrs them game. Your goal bentway seems to figure out a way to continue the tax decrease to low and middle income groups and to stick it to the rich. Their stated goal is to get debt under control. All they have to do to do that is to refuse to raise the debt ceiling and I guarantee if you hit republicans over the head with such a gimmick as you propose the Tea party will see to it that the debt ceiling doesn't get raised. What is your goal here? Your end game? The Country's goal is to get our debt under a manageable level. While people on the left use to laugh at the need to get our debt levels down - that has now changed as this issue is front and center every day on just about every network.
