President Barack Obama delivers remarks regarding the need for Congress to extend the middle class tax cuts, in the South Court Auditorium of the White House, Nov. 28, 2012. Surrounded by Americans who had written into the White House in support of his plan, President Obama today renewed his call to prevent a tax increase on the middle class. If Congress does nothing, every family in America will see their taxes automatically go up at the beginning of next year, the President said. “A typical middle-class family of four would see its income taxes go up by $2,200. Thats $2,200 out of peoples pockets. That means less money for buying groceries,less money for filling prescriptions, less money for buying diapers. It means a tougher choice between paying the rent and paying tuition. And middle-class families just can’t afford that right now. Obama said To help find an agreement President Obama pledged to keep up the pressure -- meeting with lawmakers, labor leaders, and business executives. And he called on the American people to speak up and add their own voices to the debate. I can only do it with the help of the American people, President Obama said. Do what it takes to communicate a sense of urgency. We dont have a lot of time here. Weve got a few weeks to get this thing done. MY point of view If Congress fails to act before the end of the year, every American family’s taxes will automatically go up. A typical middle-class family of four would see their taxes rise $2,200 starting in 2013.
