I have continuously said that, at the very minimum, the Bush tax cuts for income under $250,000 should be extended.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the Bush tax cuts should be made permanent.
The Bush tax cuts, they ought to be made permanent in my mind so there is certainty out there.
There are some Republicans who say that any time you raise new revenue, you have to have a tax cut to match it. I am not one of those Republicans.
There are a lot of things you can say about the Bush tax cuts, but you can't say they didn't work.
Let's make Jeb Bush explain his plan to give millionaires another massive tax cut.
We need to restore the Bush tax cuts or actually make them permanent.
Cutting taxes for very high income people an average of more than $100,000 a year for people that make more than a million dollars a year is not an effective way to get the economy going.
Sadly, the President's budget proposal for the upcoming year once again puts cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans over addressing our country's severe fiscal problems.
In December, I agreed to extend the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans because it was the only way I could prevent a tax hike on middle-class Americans. But we cannot afford $1 trillion worth of tax cuts for every millionaire and billionaire in our society. We can't afford it. And I refuse to renew them again.
I don't believe, the president doesn't believe, that the high income tax cuts work, period. I don't think the evidence supports that.
