Howard Dean: "I think the smart thing to do here is to go over the cliff..."

11. If we go over,

It will end Bush's tax legacy - he's out of office, so it's time.

The country is not an oligarchy yet, and hopefully will not become one.

I think the world wants our government to operate with common sense for the common good. If the rich pay more, we collect enough to pay our bills and borrow less. No cuts will produce enough savings unless they start pushing people off the cliff - the old, unemployed, and the sick.

They only way anybody'll have enought to eat and a place to sleep is commit a crime and go to jail if the Repubs get their way with their "cuts."

The taxes will not stay up for the midde class and as soon as the new Congress settles in, a new tax policy will pass...and if the economy picks up, the rich will still make more money, but not just on low taxes..
