I think it's important for Democrats to get their talking points in line on this topic because the Republicans will use it to go after Obama BIG TIME.

So, is Obama really planning on NEW tax cuts for those making more than 250,000?

The answer to both is yes.

Stupid DUmmies--little do they realize that Zerobama's "tax cuts" are based on when the Bush tax cuts expire next year. 

Kinda like a store that doubles prices, then tries to make you think you're getting a good deal by knocking 10 percent off.  Only a sucker, an idiot, or a DUmmie would believe that--but then, I repeat myself.

We were able to afford my wife getting her master's degree, in large part, because the tax cuts generated enough of a refund that we didn't have to go waaaay into debt.  At that time, combined, we were a tad over $60,000/year.

So greed is now defined as wanting to keep more of your own earnings?

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

By the way, as "Owl 69/70/75" from ncaabbs.com had an excellent point:

What they're really going to find out is the correlation between "tax cuts for the rich" and "job cuts for the poor."

TXRadioGuy, I am sick to death of hearing how all conservatives are rich, greedy and selfish!  I make $45K, and it's hard enough getting by on that in NYS.  F*** all these people, all the ones whining about how awful it is, and they wish they could have free electricity and free everything else. 

My charity dollars are going to local animal shelters.

In the eyes of the left, you are a "greedhead' because you want to keep what you earn instead of willingly giving it to those that do not produce or contribute anything.

That puts you $10k into "rich" territory according to The One.
