Obama won the election and must stop the far right from holding our country hostage. The top 2% must pay their fare share. Middle class and poor people have been on the loosing side of the class war the rich have waged on them since Reagan took office.
If Democrats and the administration stick to Geitner's plan, Tax rates will revert to Clinton era rates and Congress will come back next year and quickly pass legislation to lower tax rates for the 98%.
The radical right only understands strength and views compromise as a weakness. We are in an economic war and must hold the line and not repeat the unnecessary compromises made during Obama's first term.
