Grand Ayatollah James Dobson and the political arm of Focus On The Family could not be happier that the top-tier wealthy in this country will continue to reap their wind-fall rewards from the Bush Administration's "tax breaks for millionaires," even after Bush himself is gone from office.
Bush tax policy has been spectacularly successful in redistributing the nation's wealth from the poor and middle classes to the extremely rich. That's the consensus of the vast majority of economists, who stand shoulder-to-shoulder in agreement that current tax policy has transferred more money to the highest-income households – those least in need of additional resources – than at any other time in history (which is not to say that Libertarian economists at the Cato Institute [

Keith Hennessy, deputy director of the National Economic Council, said the repercussions are obvious.
"If the tax cuts don't get renewed, taxes are going up," he said. "The marriage penalty will return in full force. The death tax will come back to life. And business taxes will be going up, as well."
The marriage penalty penalizes married couples, charging them more for filing taxes jointly than if each one had filed individually.
"As a matter of principle, you don’t want a tax system that has, by design, a discouragement of marriage," said J.D. Foster, a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation.
Foster said it’s not too late for Congress to take action.
"(The tax cuts) are in law to the end of 2010," he said. "So Congress has time to act before a major tax increase would go through."
