: TalkLeftWill The GOP Hold Obama's Middle Class Tax Cuts Hostage For Tax Cuts For The Wealthy?

Of all those issues, only one has political resonance - the Obama tax cuts for the middle class. The rest will surely be put over for a lame duck session, if they are passed at all.
Here is the one time where Democrats get to be for tax cuts and can force Republicans to oppose tax cuts.
