| How important is this tax issue to you? |
|
Personally, I will be looking elsewhere. Most likely, there will be nowhere to go? I will be a Party of One.
I feel like I have been played for a fool. In the end, they always side with the corporations and the big taxcuts and against the people. I cannot support such crap.
I do not buy the excuses about unemployment or the middle-class taxcuts being the reason for their votes. That is their excuse for pulling the wool over our eyes once again.
But, no more.

I really can't afford to pay more in taxes next year.
I don't really care if the top 2% get an extension too.

| 2. The important ones were long ago for me.... all the time poverty has been forgotten, and ignored |
|
right here on DU, I realized I was a Party Of One.
So, Welcome. I've been on that spot for a long time now.

| 3. I think it's important on its own merits, but also... |
|
it's important in that sense of the straw breaking the camel's back: "Really? Is there anything you'll draw the line on?"

| 13. The top 2% should be paying 100% more than they now pay. |
|
It would be fair and it would boost the economy for EVERYONE. nt

it's a joke, when the real issue is deductions which overwhelmingly favor the very rich.

| 10. I don't think the rich pay their fair share, but sticking it to them isn't my raison d'etre. |
|
I'm generally more worried about my own circumstances. This bill will slightly improve my family's circumstances, at least in the short term.

| 11. Extremely important. It's not simply an unfair tax scheme... |
|
...which is important to all of us, but it is also a "vindication" of failed economic policies that began with the Reagan tax cuts and "trickle-down" economics and were continued by Bush and the GOP in 2000.
If this "compromise" is passed, it will only give credence to future unfair economic/tax policies that will further destroy America...

| 12. I believe that the passing of this tax bill is the clearest indication yet |
|
of just how far the rich have gone in the complete takeover of America, particularly the financial component. nt

| 14. It really isn't as much about taxes as it is Obama's credibility |
|
He ran hard on doing away with the tax cut for the wealthy. He lectured America about how detrimental it is to our fiscal integrity..Then he folds...I can no longer believe a word he says.. That is what is so wrong about it all...
