So the genius president finally did something smart for Americans, he extended the Bush tax cuts for the middle-class. I never did understand his mentality in wanting to allow them to expire especially during a very sensitive economy. How could he think that allowing them to simply expire would help our suffering nation? All it would do is basically put our nation into a deeper recession. The people who need to be taxed are the wealthy! They get off so easy in our country. Yes, they pay substantial taxes when it comes to their property taxes, but those stay in an isolated place. Most of my family falls into the category where they are not taxed enough because their income exceeds 250,000+ and they (mostly my immediate family- parents) say americans in their tax bracket need to be taxed far more than what they're currently being taxed. That being said, I think it's vital for Americans who earn beyond the tax bracket mentioned above should be a bit more responsible and contribute to society in other ways such as donating to charities, churches, or organizations that thrive on donations... If you're not being taxed enough and you know it, do the right thing and help out those who are in need. People have become far too reliant on government and in turn government seems to be handicapping people because a number of Americans realize the govt will provide for them instead...
Sorry, I know I went a lintel off track from my initial statement, but I think everything I mentioned ties in together at some point or another.
