The "fiscal cliff" scam involved making permanent some aspects of the Bush tax cuts to the rich.

[Fire Walk With Me]

It's news to me, apologies if it's old to everyone else:

-Retains the 10 percent, 15 percent, 25 percent, and 28 percent income tax brackets from the Bush tax cuts permanently
-Retains the 33 percent and 35 percent income tax brackets from the Bush tax cuts for taxable income under $400,000 (single), $425,000 (head of household), and $450,000 (joint filers). Imposes 39.6 percent tax rate on income above this level.

1. Nothing is permanent in our country.

We need to replace a lot of members of Congress.

This post is really helpful in getting that goal achieved.
