Our wealer colleagues, Irene Baldwin and Jean Raber, started the conversation below."Irene Baldwin 12/07/2010 - 5:55 am: "This question is for people who voted for Obama: how do you feel about the Presidents deal on the tax cuts? I ask, because I did vote for him, and I feel very betrayed. Are there people who voted for him who think the deal is a good thing/consistent with what he ran on?"Jean Raber 12/07/2010 - 7:51 am: "Irene, I dont feel particularly betrayed; the deal will probably include extensions for unemployment."However, I think Obama needs to call out some of the Republicans like Mitch McConnell, who protest that we cant tax the rich b/c they provide jobs. In the first place, there are already some tax incentives in place for businesses that are hiring. And, in the second place, any tax credits to the rich should be commensurate with proof that theyve actually created any full-time domestic jobs with health insurance benefits."Look here for the whole discussion.For real? Or not? "Democratic leaders rip tax deal" http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1210/46082.htmlIf your were a betting person, where would you put your money?
