Well, no wonder why Minte is pissed. They are going to raise HIS taxes. He wants to raise taxes on the top earners, just like he said he would during the election.
Directly from Minte's article:

Democrats swiftly countered that any holdup was the fault of Republicans who refuse to accept Obama's campaign-long call to raise tax rates on upper incomes. At the White House, presidential Press Secretary Jay Carney said, "There can be no deal without rates on top earners going up." Taking a confrontational, at times sarcastic tone, he said, "This should not be news to anyone on Capitol Hill. It is certainly not news to anyone in America who was not in a coma during the campaign season."
