The Bush tax cuts of 2001 were passed under the socialist Senate procedural move known as budget reconciliation, so they sunset after ten years. Next year, all those tax breaks will go away unless Congress renews them. Candidate Obama promised not to let those tax cuts sunset for everyone making less than a quarter million dollars a year. But taxes will go up on everyone unless Congress actually passes something. It appears that Congress will not move to pass new tax law until after the election during the lame-duck session. Here’s what Grover Norquist has to say about the delay.
“They’ve been saying it’s high on their to-do list but ‘We’re not getting to it just now,’ ” Norquist said. “They could have done it any day of the week. They have no intention of restoring all those tax cuts.”
He noted that Democrats raised taxes on the use of tanning beds to pay for healthcare reform, a tax he argues hits the middle class.
“Rich people go to the Caribbean to get a tan,” he said.
Of course, Norquist knows all about rich people and Caribbean cruises.

Democrats are always picking on the middle class. Republicans (excepting John Boehner) are sticking up for them by getting a natural tan (resulting in a color that the occurs in the natural world).
