When a final agreement is reached and passed by the Senate, I will present it to the House Democratic Caucus. #FiscalCliff
@CorinneAM @NancyPelosi Right, because you wouldn't want to blame GOP would you?
RT @NancyPelosi: When a final agreement reached & passed by the Senate, I will present it to House Democratic Caucus. >> Tick. Tock. DO IT!
@CorinneAM OK, as I understand it, the 'sake' in this case includes about 98.5% of people's federal income taxes not going up, plus UI, etc.
@Ptolemy_k not a v good deal for Dems. Why protect incomes over $250k? The deal is weak tea.
@CorinneAM Obama can claim victory and willingness to compromise. Politically it's a "very good" deal.
@Ptolemy_k I don’t care about a deal for the politicians.
@CorinneAM @Ptolemy_k People making 250,000 a year are already paying over 1/3 of that in federal taxes.
@TeresaHaglund If you make $250k a year, you’re not middle class. You’re in top 2% of income earners. I don’t care abt them
@CorinneAM @TeresaHaglund So unless it affects you, you don't care! I am glad you weren't the one voting!
@TeresaHaglund really? The estate tax was fixed permanently yet the college tuition tax credit has a sunset. THAT affects me & is fucked up.
@CorinneAM When you're making 250k -- and you may someday -- you will.
@Ptolemy_k everything that benefits the middle-class has a sunset date; everything that benefits the wealthy doesn’t. Understand?
@Ptolemy_k @CorinneAM Many Americans are proud to pay their fair share for the country that gave them health, education, and opporrtunities
