and raise taxes? Well, let's make President Obama live up to his words. I'm all for going over that imaginary, ginned up cliff, if that's what it takes. You can't force the poorest and least able to fend for themselves people in the nation, senior citizens, to make the sacrifices so billionaires can have tax cuts. It's the most immoral thing a nation can do and it will lead to our fall, just like the Roman Empire, and other empires after it, if we do this. Look at history.
