@EWErickson that's because it was a tax cut. $3.7 trillion over 10. cut taxes from the new post-cliff baseline.
@RyanLEllis @EWErickson - Then why did my taxes go up this year Ryan? My baseline is what I paid last year.

@BrianHDarling roughly speaking, your taxes rose $5000 on dec 31st, and were cut $3000 on jan 1st. higher than last year. but congress cut -
@RyanLEllis - My taxes went up. -
@BrianHDarling so did mine. because of the fiscal cliff. then congress cut my taxes. you can't skip the cliff. -
@RyanLEllis - So the Fiscal Cliff legislation hiked your taxes too. What about you@EWErickson using "what did I pay last yr baseline? -
@BrianHDarling one more time: the legislation didn't raise your taxes (it cut them). the cliff did. two. separate. things. -
@RyanLEllis I understand that. And I also understand that I am paying more taxes this year. Congress cut a bad deal. -
@BrianHDarling totally fair point. im not defending the merits of the bill. im simply saying the bill was a tax cut, not a tax hike.
