Let it go off the fiscal cliff - no more giving up the peoples benefits

Republicans have gerrymander most districts to the point it is difficult to get House Seats

I do not want to see OBAMA give them so much as he did the first four years and they never acknowledge that - let it go off the fiscal cliff - we all can pay a little more with the wealthiest paying the most more in order to work on a budget without cutting OUR, WE THE peoples throat anymore

They are the party of NO and unfortunately they still control the House - some new members we lost some and gained some to come out with the same number

LET THEM EXPIRE - we can handle it - get more money from the wealthy

Close all loop holes that let Mitt Romney pay little or no taxes

We're better off negotiating from Clinton rates. We need to get the estate tax back to where it was, not eliminate it.

If getting a little less on my tax refund means things can be better all around, then I am for it! ;}

If they expire and it takes a month to enact new cuts, people will not be paying that much.

force these stubborn party of NO to come up with something better - we are willing to pay taxes

Go after income tax evaders like Willard and fix those loopholes that allow him not to pay taxes like the rest of us and make up the dollars that way - just get 15% more from him would make up for the rest of us

I think it is necessary. Let it all expire and then fix the tax cuts for the middle class. If the Repubs refuse then refuse the taxcuts for the middle class, then make that the issue in the next election and take back the House for the people. I think it would be stupid to do otherwise.

It will not throw us back into a double-recession. There will be a negative reaction on the stock market at first but they will adapt and we will all be much better for it. Fasten your seatbelt! We're going over!!
