The paradox of the Bush Tax Cuts is that they didn't help the middle class when they were enacted...

...but going back to the Clinton tax rates is now going to be crippling to the middle class.

So, basically, the Republicans were wrong to enact them, and wrong to let them expire.

Let's go off the fiscal cliff...

Look, America, this year, you knew which candidate was the candidate of bigger government and higher taxes and which candidate was the candidate of smaller government and lower taxes. You voted for the tax-hike guy. Now all of our taxes will go up in January, because Republicans refuse to play along with the charade that our fiscal house can be put in order just by taxing "the rich."
