End the Bush tax cuts for the rich!

We the people of this great nation have given a mandate to President Obama, to end the Bush tax cuts for the rich. We did not give a mandate to congress to obstruct him

Why is this important?

As a retired citizen, I do not feel I should pay more tax than the rich in our society. Basic economic principle suggests that if the poor and middle class - the 98%, does not have the money to spend, the economy crumbles. The 1-2% are not the only job creators in this country, so this idea being touted by the Republican Congress, that if the rich were fairly taxed, it would prevent job growth, is ill conceived. The rich supports paying a bit more to generate revenue.
