Near Term Biggest Issue to all of us:
As we enter into December I sense a wider gap between Democrats and Republicans regarding the fiscal cliff. This is a standoff at the American peoples expense (literally). Would the guy at the left let this happen? My solution: No tax rate increase for households making under $500K (not $250K). For every additional $500K increase the rate by 1% until a maximum of %35 is reached. Those making over $4M annually will be capped at %35. Not very Republican of me but I would vote for this as a compromise. Next, reduce deductions in charitable contributions and mortgage interest by limiting the deduction to 50% of the interest and charitable contributions. What else can be done to generate revenue or reduce government expense ?
