funny thing is that you know damn well if the dems could let all of the tax rates expire and raise everyone's taxes...they'd do it in a heartbeat...you have Obama now claiming to be the champion of keeping the current tax rates for the "middle class" for no other reason than the fact that it would be insane to increase the rates with the economy teetering...
