Let's Have a Real Debate

So far, Obama and the Congressional leadership are hanging tough on their plan to let the Bush tax cuts on incomes over $250,000 a year expire. So far, Republicans are hanging tough on their plan to block such a proposal, insisting that all of the cuts be extended. Awesome. Let's have this one out. No compromise, no back room deal, just go to the voters with two plans -- tax the rich to provide services for everyone else, or give them the break they want and starve the government.
