It's the DemonRats wanting to hold the economy and middle class hostage to tax increases on the "rich". Some dumb bitch demonrat said that they are willing to let all tax cuts expire if republicans don't agree to hiking taxes on those making $250K+. Many of talking head economists say this will cripple the economy and refer to it as a fiscal cliff.
If Mrs. Corpio is a tax payer, then he is willing to have his taxes raised just to "punish" rich people. The DUmmies are just effing brilliant, aren't they?
