House Democrats Reject Obama's Tax-Cut Deal; Senate Set to Debate

Until we see the greedy goverment spend the next two years working on real spending cuts and getting a handle on waste and abuse of tax money noone should be taxed more for their defficiant use of our money. I would be glade to pay more tax if it was used wisley!

From article published in "Heath Watch" Rep. Cantor: Popular parts of health law will be tackled in GOP repeal plan By Christina Wilkie - 11/30/10 08:31 AM ET House Republicans are looking to repeal the healthcare reform law and replace it with one of their own early next year without interrupting two popular parts the administration has already begun to implement. They include a mandate that bars discrimination of pre-existing conditions and a stipulation that allows young people to remain on their parents' insurance plans until age 26.

I cannot understand how livid the liberal get when they cannot raise someone's taxes. Why don't they just send their own money to Washington, if they think it will help? :o)

Ok I say we stop sending job out of the United State’s any company that does should have to pay twice the tax for taking job away from the United State. The pay for the United State's be set to a base pay for every one Corp. officer as well company making over 500k a year and it is from jobs done out side of the United States then that money should be taxed at 50 % on every dollar made. Then maybe these companies would bring these jobs back to the United States an we would have jobs we could pay our electric bills, bye food, and see Dr. I have a culinary and account background and I cant even get a dish washing job because of my age, I went from 60K a year to 0 used up all of savings unemployment ran out and I have sold off everything I can sell. In 1981 I dislocated my L3-4-5 in my back and in 2004 I was told they were deteriorating but I kept on going till the company I work for found a younger person to take my place at 24K a year. I fought and loss because big money was behind them. So is out system fair no is it what the founding fathers had in mine no So what can be done Nothing as long as people are not willing to give back as much as they take out. I hope everyone has a safe Holiday just be thankful you are still breathing that is the one thing they cant take away from you. ON the last note crime in our small town where nothing ever went on has had last week 4 daylight robberies 1 shooting killing 1 person 2 rapes, looks like we are going down hill fast but one thing is if these people get caught they will have a roof over there head and food in there belly. And taxes will go up even higher.

The only reason these tax cut estensions would be good is becasue of the tax cuts to the middle class who will spend it in the economy. Giving money to people who already has loads of money simply don't make any sense at all. If the result is adding to the deficit and giving more money to the rich or letting all tax cuts expire and revert to rates under Clinton, I say let them expire. If people can't make it on the money they're making, they need to lower their standard of living to what they can afford. Just like we're telling the governmnet it should do.

Does anybody in Washington really know what's going on with our economy? Our economy is on the skids, the real estate market is still floundering, the banking industry is tottering on the brink, our military endeavors are ineffective,the value of the dollar continues to slide, unemployment is at the highest level that it has been in decades,people are still losing their homes due to foreclosures and can't afford adequate Medical Care. May God help us.

Liberals have a peculiar point of view. Extending the current tax rates is a, "tax cut", but, letting them expire is not a tax increase...

The Demoncrats should reign in spending, not increase taxes.

Shame on Obama! Not only is he a traitor to his own party but to the rest of us middle class citizens. I'm one of those Independents who voted for him because we believed he would stand up for the good of this country and do away with unregulated wall street greed and big corporate lobbyists who's only interest was padding CEO's glutton ways. Obama caves in to the greedy Republican agenda that will cater to the less than 2% earners just to get a compromise? So, any time something is to be negotiated, everyone will have to give in to the republican agenda and they NEVER will compromise because the President will not fight but give in? Well, I'm no liberal democrat but a conservative Independent from the middle class who, along with alot of my colleagues WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA EVER AGAIN-yep, ONE TERM PRESIDENT!

OBAMA can't have it both ways ... saying this deal needs to go through, OR we risk a double-dip recesson. Thought only GW Bush tried to ramings things thru using "SCARE TACTICS" ... & two years from now, during the Presidental Election, he's going to "FIGHT" to repal these tax cuts, for the wealthiest people? WHY should we beieve THAT? IF these tax cuts pass, unemployment start to decline over the next two years, how is he going to make any type of arguement abour letting the tax cuts expire, without the Reublicans making him look foolish? To bad he doesn't show the same passion, for extending unemployment beneifits, for the long term unemployed. As or he RPUBLICANS, IF they are willing to shut down EVERTHING until the get to vote for TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH, ... then keep the Senate in session unil 11;59 NEWS YEARS EVE, making them be there Christmas Eve, Chrismtas Day right up until the end of the year. Let them show the entire country they are willing to DO NOTHING, until they get their own way. REPUBLICANS complain about Unions, ... but they don't mind ORGANIZING & WORK STOPAGES to get their own way, but at least Unions are more PRODUCTIVE than these OVERPAID, USELESS wastes of tax payer money ... trying showing up for your job, & telling your boss your not going to do ANYTHIG, until you get our own way, & SEE HOW LONG YOU HAVE A JOB. IF Harry Reid & Obama can't figure out to keep these guys in session, until they get their work done, THEY ARE AS USELESS as the Republicans.
