What Th...?

I just read a Facebook post from my neice in-law.  She was having a fit because she said Obama was raising her taxes but not raising the taxes on the poor and the filthy rich.  And anything agreed upon had to be agreed on my a Republican controlled congress.

Maybe I slept throught something.

I thought the "cliff" talks and agreements they finally agreed to raise the taxes on the rich.  I think she misread something or some publication fed her a line.   And as far as raising the tax of the poor - what good would that do?  It doesn't matter if they they raise the poor's income taxes 10% or 50%.  50% of nothing is still nothing.
