It's a conflict of interest for congress members who earn more than $250,000 to vote on ending the Bush tax cuts for those earning over $250,000, because it saves them money. Let only those few who earn less, to cast their vote.

Keeping Social Security sound for the future.

President Obama would like to extend the "Bush" tax cuts for the middle class, but Congress is balking at any plan that doesn't give tax cuts to the top 2%. They all agree that the middle class should not have their taxes increased. It's so simple, address the middle class tax freeze right now! Address the other 2% later. Lets back away from the fiscal cliff.

There are many corporations that are not paying taxes because their headquarters are outside the U.S.

If we really are serious about reducing the National Debt we have to raise taxes on everyone. Why not let current law prevail and let Bush Tax Cuts and "Sequestration" cuts take place for real. Adding a .5% (1/2 of 1 %) transfer fee to the $600 trillion Derivatives market would bring about the most aggressive reduction of debt anyone is proposing.

To get Congress to set aside discredited economic thinking in order to avoid the "fiscal cliff".

We need for our elected officials to work on bring jobs to Georgia now.

With the 2012 election, President Obama gains four more years in office. He made many promises his supporters. We, his supporters, need to remind him to keep the promises he made! Our concerns will not be addressed unless we continue to speak up.

Honorable Mr. President and Members of Congress, Social Security and Medicare were created in order to prevent old age poverty of the neediest of Americans. Any privatization or cuts in these "entitlements", for which those Americans worked and paid for throughout a lifetime, are totally unfair and unnecessary, just as it is unfair to raise the retirement age and expect people to work into their late 60's when no one wants to hire or retain them. This is supposedly the richest country in the world, yet when it comes to its own citizens, it prefers to preach self reliance. Mr. President, I urge you to let the Bush tax cuts expire and not sell Social Security, Medicare as well as Medicaid down the River in a deal with self-serving hypocritical Republicans like Paul Ryan. It is time for the rich to give back to the country and its people who made it possible for them to accumulate these riches in the first place. Thank you, Sincerely, Lydia Bell

With the fiscal cliff near, why aren't we considering stopping subsidies to AGRIBUSINESS? Shouldn't our largest retailer pay a living wage instead of paying so poorly their employees are eligible for food stamps and welfare? Why are our taxes paying subsidies to big OIL Companies

How Jeffrey Loria conned the people of Miami-Dade county in paying for a new ball park then trading away all its good players

Before we go off the fiscal cliff, I have a simple solution to this divisive issue.
