Orin Hatch would have more than his present zero credibility if he talked about what he would cut other than taxes in order to bring government spending back into line. He's for the balanced budget amendment, but hasn't voted once against tax cuts, military spending increases, or bailouts for business. Does he expect the tooth fairy to balance the budget. He's a senator, doesn't he know it's his job.

What does socialized medicine (I'm assuming you mean obamacare, if so please do some research on the word socialized) have to do with the expiration of bush's tax cuts? Did you read any of the article past the headline?

If only part of taxpayers get a tax break, could that be called socialism?
If all taxpayers get a tax break, could that be called communism?

The lumpenproles and the very wealthy have plenty of time to sit around and be paranoid and come up with oppression fantasies

Didn't they used to call them the "chattering classes"?

Obamacare isn't even in the ballpark of some of the WWII increases.

Ah yes...the standard liberal escape from Logic: 'Relative' tax increases.

Just like how you all consider obese people with three tvs and two cars to be 'poor' in America, too.

Sorry, 'relative' doesn't cut it.

Give HRHMedia access to patrick.net...and he'll masturbate with it.

Do you have a clue what relative means? Obviously not. In either inflation adjusted dollars or as a percentage of gdp obamacare is not the largest tax increase in history no matter how many times rush repeats it. Fail.

Obamacare has many new taxes and anyone who doesn't think a new 3.8% tax on them should feel free to burn 3.8% of their income in the street every month to see how it feels.
Watching it burn up will bring it into perspective since to many "another 3.8%" is so small.
No new tax is small and no tax increase is a good plan during a depression.
This situation is a mild and protracted depression caused by the bursting of an asset fueled by credit.
