Fiscal Cliff: Do Tax Hikes Worry You?

We’d like to hear from you on how the possible tax hikes would impact your family.

With New Year’s just around the corner, all eyes are turning to Washington, D.C., where lawmakers are working to prevent America from falling off the so-called fiscal cliff. That cliff, according to the Huffington Post, is the automatic activation of budget cuts and tax hikes that will kick in on Jan. 1, 2013, if something isn’t done to prevent them. As it stands right now, no agreement has been reached between the Democrats and Republicans to prevent the financial changes from occurring. Some economists say the budget cuts and tax hikes will catapult America back into another recession. President Barack Obama has cut his holiday vacation short, according to the Post, and is returning to Washington to try and work out a deal. Republicans …

The Talk About Price For Speaker

A spokesman for the Northeast Cobb-area Congressman says he won't be challenging John Boehner as the "fiscal cliff" looms.

U.S. Rep. Tom Price's name was been wagging tongues all day Monday in Washington and at home in metro Atlanta. The Roswell Republican, who represents Northeast Cobb in Georgia's Sixth District, was the subject of an article in the conservative magazine National Review. In "Boehner's Biggest Threat," writer Robert Costa indicated that Price may challenge Speaker John Boehner if a federal budget deal falls through. But Price said through a spokesman later Monday that he won't be challenging Boehner as the so-called "fiscal cliff" over the federal budget looms. A aide to House leadership is quoted in the National Review article as saying that “Price is the person we’re all watching. We know he’s frustrated, but we don’t know much else.” The …

How Can Congress Avoid the ‘Fiscal Cliff?’

Lawmakers in Washington have a Dec. 31 deadline to prevent start of automatic tax hikes and budget cuts.

After kicking the can down the road to avoid making hard choices in the face of an election, lawmakers now have just a few weeks to face financial reality for the American people. Experts may debate whether it’s a “fiscal cliff” or a gentle slope, but everyone seems to agree that dealing with the deficit and expiration of Bush-era tax cuts is a must. (See Wall Street Journal video explainer.) Congress set their own deadline to do so of Dec. 31, 2012, conveniently after the election. But with another election at least two years away, it's now time to do something about it. Up until now, each Party has blamed the other for the footdragging, but all indications are that the American people are tired of the deadlock in Washington. They're …

Let Freedom Ring

July 4 is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence between June 11 and June 28, 1776. The Declaration of Independence is the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty. It's political philosophy was not new; its definition of individual liberty had already been expressed by John Locke and the Continental philosophers. Jefferson summarized the philosophy in "self-evident truths" and added a list of grievances against the King to justify the breaking of ties between the colonies and Great Britain. During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by …
