constituents does these organizations represent, that want tax cuts for over $250,000 dollars and raising their Social Security and medicare Ages? They can solve that issue themselves, when they get that old if they aren't that old already. And if they are, just give it back to the Government as a Gift to bring down the Debt.

I just don't see their point, how raising the age limit, 20 to 50 years from now will affect the current Deficit? I don't see how cutting taxes for the wealthy will affect the current Deficit either. You want money coming in and not out? Now extending those cuts for the middle class will help more, because they just go right back out and spend it in the economy. On the other hand, the wealthy just put their money away and threaten to hold out for some more tax cuts. Listen to Warren Buffett, he has billions of Dollars. Now if we stop giving them more money, they will find other ways to make it, like creating more jobs for wealth. You just made them lazy with free give aways, so why should they work for it?
