Everyone's taxes are going up, and any deal will be a bad deal. Congress thinks a bad deal is better than the "fiscal cliff," which would be the expiration of the Bush Tax Rates, and the implementation of draconian cuts to the military budget. What the republicans are looking for is a compromise, but what the democrats have proven up to this point is that they don't plan to compromise. It is their way, or over the cliff. Besides, with Obamacare, the rich are going to get taxed heavily, whether a deal is struck, or not. The democrats win no matter what - deal, or no deal.
