You Don't Have to Be an Economist...

If Congress fails to act before the end of the year, every family in the country will see their income taxes automatically go up at the beginning of 2013. A typical middle class family of four will see their income taxes rise by $2,200.

We can’t let that happen. Our families can’t afford it, and neither can our economy. The thing is, you don’t have to be an economist or economic expert to understand why that’s the case.

Watch this video to see what $2,000 means to a typical middle-class family.
