    They should be allowed to expire, just to spite the morons in Congress who voted to approve the Sunset clause on those cuts. You know they were just passing the buck, and hoping the morons 10-years in the future wouldn't have the guts to let the cuts expire. Why would we want to play-into-the-hands of those "Starve the Beast" wackos?

    Obama claimed he wouldn't raise taxes on people earning a certain amount (which no one knows at what level because Obama keeps changing his mind). By letting the tax cuts expire, he's breaking his promise as taxes will go up. But, Obama has proven his word means little which is no surprise for a corrupt community organizer from Chicago.

    for some reason I deleted some of what I originally wanted to post...this is what it should have looked like If they expire and the "Rich People" get hit with some new/old taxes then the general public is screwed b/c the rich don't pay taxes. They pass those tax expenses down to the every day Joe in the form of pricier goods and services. We just need a new tax system all together, which is why I'm a fan of HR 25. It would put us and the economy back on the road to being number one again.
