Simply put, avoid the handshake with the Devil. Instead, listen and vote with the voices of THE PEOPLE.
Acknowledge that future office holders and present members of Congress should feel persuaded to side with THE PEOPLE'S majority....it's a common sense electorate, stupid!
But in all seriousness, on January 1st, 2013, when EVERYONE's taxes increase.....The finger-pointing should be aimed directly at Grover Norquist and his *277 pledge-signers. And here's why, President Barack O'Bama's re-election campaign ran on an increase of taxes on only the income above $250,000 and THE PEOPLE agreed! But as usual, Congress said "Nope." The pathetic truth is million/billionaires agree with Obama. It appears, rather than increasing taxes for 2%, our pledge-signers want 100% to increase. Mindboggln
