Dinner party last night with relatives. Careful (eggshell) discussion of current debate on Economic Cliff. Two relatives were BO voters, the rest GOP.

Liberal Understanding of the Problem:

1. Only people earning multi-millions per year are at risk of a tax hike.
2. Reduced spending for "entitlements" is a GOP effort to deny the "poor" people some help. Cuts to entitlements will never include either Social Security or Medicare because it would not be fair; I worked for it. I payed for it.
3. The Obama stimulus packages have created millions of jobs and saved the economy. New taxes on the wealthy
will cover the entire cost.
4. Any new push for Gun Control (they own some) or a "Wealth Tax" on 401K/savings/investments will never happen in this Democratic Country.

Conclusions: I love both these folks very much (even voting for BO twice); they are Family. The key is that they, personally, have not been affected by decisions made for the last 4 years, nor have they thought about how those same decisions will be financed. They are right in the cross-hairs of a big tax smack and they have no clue.

If I don't feel the pain right now, the pain does not exist.
