You want my professional opinion about the potential expiration of the Bush tax cuts?
Income taxes will increase tremendously in oh so many different ways. And still, it won't gin up the amount of revenue for the governmental maw that the statists are salivating over in their fevered craniums ... 'cuz contrary to the juvenile emoting of statists, the effects of tax changes are most definitely not static ... taxpayers will change their economic behavior. One thing for sure will come to pass, though ... the American economy will tank even further than it already has. The technical term for all of this is ... well, for this board, I'll use the cleaned up version of the technical term, anyway ... "cluster fark."
