The Administration is worrying about fallout from "raising taxes?" [View All]

[Jackpine Radical]

Hell, thanks to the right-wing Chatterati in this country a huge proportion of the country already hinks Obama raised their taxes on them.

The Dems can let the tax cuts expire & let the Reptilians accuse them of raising taxes.
Or they can pass the tax cuts & have the Reptilians take credit for keeping taxes down.

It really isn't going to matter by 2012.

Obama's fortunes are going to ride on things much larger than whether or not he lets the Bush tax cuts expire. Things like jobs & the state of the economy. Not to mention what happens to SocSec. People who are out of work and out of unemployment insurance, or who are told that they have to wait a couple of years longer than they expected to retire (and then will be collecting 20% less than they expected) aren't going to base their votes on a half-remembered tax deal in the remote past of 2010.
