Try this leave the bush tax cut alone (let them expire) and put in place [View all]

A tax cut for 100% of americans for the first $250,000 of income and any income above $250,000 will be taxed as would have been when the bush tax expired (which is what taxes were under Clinton in 1999). This would not be a tax increase just a cut in tax for the first quarter of a million of income. Grove Norquist can not say that anyone voted to increase anyones tax. It is very important how we use words to describe what we want to do like with "entitlements" which need to be called by there real name "earned benefits".
