That's pretty pathetic Alex. Personal insults and attacks, because you disagree with someone?

And by the way, the two bills that you linked to are bills to create tax brackets, and raise taxes on certain classes of people. While you can repeat the same old line about it just being an expiration of Bush Tax Cuts, that is not what it is.

As for the 84%, call it whatever percent you want to. The point was and still is that Obama is spending, and continues to spend, and we have little if anything to show for it.

As for revenue increases, the Bush Tax Cuts (specifically, the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003) showed that income tax paid by households earning $1million or more doubled from 2003 to 2006 (as stated in the Wall Street Journal). Also, the percent of total revenue paid by the upper income brackets increased, while the percent at the mid and lower levels decreased.
