Why do Libs complain about the "Bush tax cuts for the rich" when the Bush tax...

...cuts for the middle class cost? so much more money?

Making permanent all tax cuts for the middle class will cost the Treasury $2.7 trillion over 10 years, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.

Extending the tax cuts for the very wealthiest Americans would drain an additional $678 billion.

Gee I thought Liberals said that the rich got all of the tax cuts?

Why do you have to take a good point and add attacks and lies?

This is the issue in America, you refuse to have a civil debate with people.

Difference is that the very wealthiest Americans are a tiny portion of the general populace and generate huge tax returns. See the difference there, Ace?
The tax rates will return to where they were when Clinton was president and prosperity reigned, which negates the charge that the economy will suffer.

In many cases due to state tax dynamics, the government can charge a higher % income to the rich and they'll still pay a lower % of their income. Now, if the difference in pay wasn't so great, the charging based on amount of $ would make sense, but when the wealthy are hoarding assets, and, as a result, businesses like airlines, with a highly desirably product, are suffering due to lack of people with enough income to pay, there is clearly a massive problem with the economy, that clearly allows for a 'fair proportion' tax system. Also, don't tax the poor, at least not the ones that worry about the price of bread and milk.

Why are you sucking up to the filthy rich? If anything from the rich trickles down on you it won't be money. TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS DO NOT WORK. Obama is the best president in a long time.The rich get all the breaks. That is true.Money talks.

Note that whole "all tax cuts" factor. Wonder what they're applying to that...oh yeah, all the capital gains tax decreases, because they see them as just as beneficial to the middle class as anyone else (they're not). Or better yet, they may be leaving them out entirely. They're the biggest portion of this group of tax cuts, which means that, either way, the amount you have quoted is just plain wrong and out of proportion.
