The Fiscal Cliff deal focused on taxes and had a lot of changes to the tax code with it, including a permanent extension of the Bush-era tax cuts on income below $450,000 for families and below $400,000 for individuals, basically taxing workers and making rich people have more money in their pockets. Democrats think there are far worse problems to worry about than fixing the debt ceiling by raising taxes. but on the other hand, Republicans think that the government should be taxing people more and it'll help the gov't get better and if they don't do anything about it soon, Republicans think we'll be in a lot more debt during the year.
