not everyone has crunched the numbers, nor seen how the numbers fall in Obama's plan.

The numbers are right at that link, that it gives about the same percentage of its benefits to the top 1% as it does to the bottom 40%, but I guess if a Democrat proposes tax cuts for the rich, that makes it okay.

Nor did you include an option for "let them expire for incomes over $60,000".

It doesn't have to be "over $250,000" or "nothing".
