Because that will dictate who will see their tax rates increase.

I am surprised to hear you say there will be no tax increases next year. Are you certain Dems will vote to extend the Bush tax cuts? Or do you think they will selectively extend (i.e., all those under $250K)? It seems to me this would be a total repudiation of OCarter's economic policy and his ardent desire for "fairness". I hope you are right but if he let's taxes increase for those over $250K he will negatively impact those individuals that comprise over 40% of consumer spending which is grasping defeat from the jaws of victory because of ideology.

Perhaps this is his "October surprise" to try to save the Dems? I think most Americans will see it as a crass act of cynicism and will not reward them for a Hail Mary pass......a term we Catholics like very much.
