Office Hours on Extending Middle-Class Tax Cuts: #My2K with Brian Deese

Note: This live session of Office Hours has concluded. View the full question and answer session below or at Storify.com

If Congress doesn't act by the end of the year, every American family’s taxes will automatically go up. A typical middle-class family of four would see their taxes rise by $2,200 in 2013. Surrounded by American's who had written in support of his plan, President Obama called on the American people to speak up and add their voices to the debate:

"Today, I’m asking Congress to listen to the people who sent us here to serve.  I’m asking Americans all across the country to make your voice heard.  Tell members of Congress what a $2,000 tax hike would mean to you.  Call your members of Congress, write them an email, post it on their Facebook walls.  You can tweet it using the hashtag “My2K.”
