The Tax Compromise between Obama and the Soon to be House Majority Republicans

I see that a lot of Democrats and Progressives are very upset because of the deal that President Obama made with the Right regarding the two year extension of the Bush Tax Cuts for wealthy and the tax break for the middle class. I feel for Obama because to often we Democrats, even more center thinking ones like myself point fingers at the other side for not being willing to compromise.

Now we are mad ourselves for compromising. We need a two party system and nobody can get there total way all the time.


It is rude and down right disrespectful to assume that the Republicans are mean and wrong about everything. It is equally wrong for them to think that of Democrats.

I think the deal is fair and the country can move forward from here.
