To the Editor:
In 2008 I voted for Barack Obama with an audacity of hope that he’d change Bush-era policies that had had a devastating economic effect on this country.
There is no economic or ethical reason to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. Nor is there any political justification for them.
If President Obama plans to extend Bush tax policies even temporarily, I’ll actively search for another president to represent me in 2012. I didn’t vote for Mr. Obama to give a third term to George W. Bush.
