I agree with you 1,000% to not raise taxes but that is not going to happen with the present configuration running this country. Even if the GOP win controls of the House and/or Senate, the GW tax cuts will expire 1/1/2011 and they can do nothing to stop it. I agree with you about Mr. Geithner, he was in a tough situation, made a tough decision which has helped the world a great deal. So many Monday monring quaterbacks out there.
