No and if we did we'd better hope we don't get a president who extends it (like FDR).

Obama raising taxes in the middle of this al la FDR is a good way to cause one. We know he's rooting for it right now.

Most people would get a tax cut, at least if they still have jobs after the Bush economy.

Okay. Let's raise taxes on the wealthy, capital gains, payroll, and social security and see how the economy responds. I bet it would turn around!
I highly doubt Obama is going to attempt to do all of that at once. That said the immense costs of what he seems to be advocating make me extremely nervous. We have enough unfunded liabilities as it stands without him promising to use government to practically part the seas.

His tax cut is much cheaper than McCain's.

How will he pay for his 500 Billion in new spending?
