It is pure nonsense to believe that a marginal rate increase of about 4% for people making over $250k is stalling the economy. Just another right-wing talking point fantasy.

it's not the best course of action? Seriously, who besides a Democrat would think that raising taxes during a recession is a good idea?

Hey Chewy - READ THE ARTICLE, WILL YOU?

People who refuse to avail themselves of the solid facts are the whole problem here.

Liberals do not understand the only way out of a depression is to create good jobs through profitable businesses and wage earner spending.

No. The recovery hasn't stalled because of looming tax hikes. The recovery has slowed down because economic stimulus programs like the First-Time Homeowners Tax Credit and Cash for Clunkers are no longer in effect.

Edit: Sorry, but I reject the notion that the wealthy are so vital to economic strength. Any successful businessperson knows that the key to a healthy business is a strong customer base, and there aren't nearly enough wealthy people to do that. Our economic recovery is slow because rich people hoarded stimulus dollars instead of reloaning that money to small business. If the rich are too self-centered to help our country grow, we should raise their taxes and recoup our bailout funds.

People who peddle personal opinion as solid fact are the whole problem here.

..What a joke...the Recovery is based on only 1/2 has been spent because BHO is saving it to instill it when he wants to be re-elected...after all he is living the life of Riley...vacation every week at someone elses expense. King Obama will find out soon enough that "let them eat cake" will not do when our houses are being foreclosed on. This guy has never run a business, never served in the military...America WHAT were you thinking....we have an infant at the wheel and now all we can hope for is that the engine will run out of gas before he runs off the cliff....and tax hikes are ludicrious right now...how sane is h-sane obama?
