If one week I purchase something at the store for $5.00,
The following week, I get a 1.00 off coupon and pay 4.00,
The third week I don't have coupon and have to pay 5.00 again - Did the store raise the price??!!
The tax rates were what they were before the Bush plan was put in place to artificially "lower" them by borrowing money to pay for them.
They expired and should not be extended because we don't have the money for them, in fact we are 16 Trillion in debt, in part because of them.
Is that a call to raise them, or did the coupon simply expire??!!

Raising the tax rates won't even come close to closing the deficit, that is not where the problem is.
