Taxmageddon... the Fiscal Cliff... the end of the world as we know it...

Whatever you want to call it, we're on the verge of some really ugly economic stumbling blocks ahead. All of them intentionally crafted by our government. Americans for Tax Reform sums it this way:

"Sunday will mark the start of the 100-day countdown to “Taxmageddon” – the date the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect.  They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on January 1, 2013."

Anyone still believe it when Obama said he wouldn't raise taxes on the middle class?

The whole country is about to get harpooned. But it's conveniently timed so the sleeping masses, or those who have been convinced the election is a referendum on free birth control, won't realize it until after they vote. Although some of the damage may become apparent before January 1st, as Americans with assets begin to re-balance their holdings to minimize personal impact.
