The great tax "compromise" debacle is imminent...

I am really going to be steamed if the democrats (read: Obama) cave and give the upper income a continuing tax break. You just KNOW that they will be saying, "It's going to be 'only' for two years" or some such idiocy.

There should be NOTHING for those earning above $250,000. We don't need to add to the deficit by giving the "haves" more money. And the weenie response of, "We got so much in return for it!" is unacceptable! Any bets, "Some will be disappointed" will be spoken by our fearless leader as an attempt to mollify his base?

As usual, the "We will never compromise!" Republicans win again. Obama's duplicity is appalling. He had a chance to be a great President, but he acceded to money before the people.

A pox on the democrats! I've always said that the two parties are made of the same cloth. One more piece of evidence.

Update (one hour later)

The Huffington Post says a deal has been struck. To wit (emphasis mine):

...the contours of a final package emerged with more detail than ever before. While it's clear that the White House gave in on its main front -- the desire to let the tax levels for the upper-income levels revert to pre-Bush rates -- administration officials claimed that they were able to secure major victories in return....to continue for two years...

In reference to my comment about the Dems and Reps being the same, Jeremy Tri comments in the article,

Sure would of been nice to have elected a democrat to be president in 2008!

Boy, howdy, amen.
