I'd be willing to make a small gentleman's bet that republicans blink first. I bet rates go up on the top 2%(Obama's plan), and stay the same for the rest of us(middle). I'd also be willing to make a small bet that Hillary runs for President. If she does, there's a good chance republicans won't see that "big" chair again for 12 more years.

You may be right about Obama's plan, and I'm not willing to bet on anything. Just one question though.

If the rates on the top 2% (which includes many of the producers in this country) are raised, how much of that will be passed on to "us(middle)"? My guess is that it will be "us(middle)" paying the bulk of it when all is said and done.
