For those who think tax reduction was too great under President George W. Bush, why not return to the Clinton tax rates? But why not do this for everybody? Why interject class warfare?
If you believe the rich got the better end of the deal on reduction, wouldn’t it make sense that they will get the worse deal going back to the old rates?
Everyone should be in the game together. Democracy will fail (tyranny of the majority) if we divide the incentives.

Case in point:
Total income: $83,000
Income Taxes paid: $7100
minus Barry's gift: $400
Tax liability: $6700
vs.
Total income: $14,000
Income Taxes paid: $583
minus Barry's gift: $400
Tax liability: $183
6x's the income, 38x's the tax. It doesn't make a bit of sense to me, but you will never convince yahoo's like this guy who believe more is never enough

Our Democracy will fail if we don't elect leaders who spend efficiently and within our means.
Our Democracy will fail if we don't divide the liabilities more equitably. You can't give tax credits to people who don't pay taxes. It might get you re-elected but it doesn't pay the bills
