Well lets hope it doesn't come to that because if they don't extend the tax cuts for everyone then those in the upper 2% who create the vast majority of new jobs will not do so because of the ongoing uncertainty, not to mention less cash in their small business to invest in new jobs.

The sad reality is we are talking about the wrong thing. The way to get the deficits under control is not by increasing the taxes on anyone, which is self defeating, it is to cut government spending. That's what we should be talking about. Extending the tax cuts to everyone will actually increase revenue to the treasury. It always has and it always will. But it can't even begin to keep up with the spending. That's where we need to focus our energy and attention.
