John, the republicans don't want any of the Bush tax cuts to expire. Raising anybodies taxes now will do more harm than good. That's what Obama said the last time he signed their extension.We're headed for another recession regardless. <Obamacare and all of it's new taxes is throwing cold water on the economy. Many businesses are refusing to expand because of the new HC mandates and in many cases are shrinking to avoid them. Add to that an increase in other taxes Businesses will be expected to pay and what little growth you see now, will become stagnant or even recessive. Raising taxes on anybody is only defeating the purpose of taxation, to raise revenue. It puts the economy in a death spiral. The only realistic solution is to cut the spending. We keep maxing-out the credit card and then asking for a higher limit with less ability to pay it off each time. If taxes go up on the middle class and poor, I'm sure more will blame republicans because most people want their cake and be able to eat it to. It's like the Chase commercial, who doesn't want more money and who doesn't more *free* things? Everybody wants lower taxes but they also want their freebies and they want somebody else to pay for them. Now that's greed.

I would expect many of the Republicans will be voted out in the next congressional elections. Stay tuned. As Bernanke has warned, there is the possibility that the increase in taxes to the middle class will negatively affect the economy. There could very well be another recession. However, the stock market appears to be holding its own during the past few days' activities. Maybe the market has already calculated the effects of the "fiscal cliff" controversy. We'll know the answer for sure on New Year's day.
