In the article “Mayor Nutter Joins the President in calling for keeping middle- class tax cut” is about how Mayor Nutter and President Obama trying to keep taxes the same for middle and lower class families that make less than 250,000 a year because these middle and lower class wouldn’t be able to pay the increase of taxes because they can hardy pay their bills or put food on the table. So they trying to fight against the new law that’s trying to get establish.

For example the article had stated, “Taxes payers making less than 250,000 should not see their taxes go up,” Nutter said after he and 13 other mayors met with Vice President Biden. “If you have one thing that everyone agree on, there’s no reason not to do that one thing now.” Another example from text is “Nutter’s comments as he stood outside the west wing highlighted his on going role as one of Obama’s most visible allies, having served as one of the president’s top surrogates during the election. He also heads the U.S. Conference of Mayors. On Thursday he carried Obama’s message on the most critical policy debute of the moment.” My another quote from the text is, “Both parties agree that tax cuts that are about the expire for those less that 250,000 should be extend, which would spare 98 percent of taxpayers a tax increase Jan 1.” My last quote from the text is, “I think the American public is going to demand action" now that the election is over, Nutter told reporters. "When people know that there is one vote and one action that can benefit 98 percent of the American public, I think most Americans are going to wonder, 'Why don't they take that action now?' "

He added, "Where I come from, at least, if everyone agrees on something, there's no reason not to do it."

 

I think they should pass this policy because most middle and lower class is struggling and they can hardly feed there families or pay their light bill or any other bills they have. They should also pass this policy because the rich aka upper class have money ,they don’t have to worry about is they going to be able to eat the next day or is their lights going to be on or off. So the upper class should have to pay a little more then middle class.

What if they don’t pass the policy, is they going to figure out a lower percentage the middle-class would have to pay from the upper? After all this debuting do Obama and these mayors think they really have a chance at trying to get the government to keep the policy the same or lowering it for middle class? If the policy chance how long would it take before it goes into affect?
