Tax Cuts to be extended by at least 2 years. No need for discussion, its going to happen, they do not want to bring uncertainty to this market right before the consumer needs to go out and buy gifts for family and friends. They dont want to ruin the christmas season now so its certain these tax cuts will be extended.
Notice its not just the mega rich who vote for Dems its a slight majority of 200k per year crowd. Secondly I don't think its guilt. What is stopping the rich from sending extra checks to the US Treasury? I think the mega rich want higher taxes because it will make it difficult for the smaller firms to get to their level. While the mega wealthy will find a way to pay less anyways. How many small companies got bailed out? Only those too big to fail got help.
