Do not give in to the argument that "entitlement reform" should be the quid pro quo for any deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, including ending the Bush Tax Cuts on income over $250,000. Medicare and Social Security "fixes" should be considered on their own merits.
Why is this important?
The petition is about bargaining "entitlement reform" for ending the Bush Tax Cuts. As someone who has benefited from the cuts for incomes over $250,000, and who expects to benefit from both Social Security and Medicare, I have a interest from both sides of the equasion.
