I only implied this in my first post, but don't you think it's tragic, (not to mention irresponsible), that a whole party would continue to march to stubborn close minded positions, just because they have a specific party label, just because they don't want the opposing party to get credit for doing what needs to get done, and regardless of the outcome?
Don't you think it's wrong that if a congressman does break ranks these days, they risk ostracism and forfeit the millions they need for reelection?

And hey, you can apply what I just said to EITHER party!

So, Bucco, we come back to the question. Can you give me some solid reasons why the expiring tax cuts should be extended to those making more than $250k per year? (Tell you what. I'm even willing to adjust this figure upwards a teeny bit if we can get the thing done.)
