In reply to the discussion: Report: White House Considers Smaller Fiscal Cliff Deal [View all]ProSense
(116,464 posts)51. Regardless!
"Here I thought they were two separate pieces of legislation."
You see the chart shows a slight increase over the pre-EGTRRA law, and it increases a little more with the taxes associated with the health care law.
"But by all means, let's let that piece of crap be our excuse to give the top 20% $1.6 trillion in tax cuts. A health insurance mandate must be worth at least that much to the working classes."
Again with the nonsense. If you limit the cuts to people earning less than $100,000, there will still be a dollar amount associated with high-income earners.
You seem to be pretending to not understand that.
You can argue for a completely different program, but that is not being discussed. Want to talk about increasing the minimum wage?
