Let Indiana Jones Guide Us Off The Fiscal Cliff

There has been much hand wringing, wailing, and gnashing of teeth by the Villagers.  Like the chart offered by someone here has shown, the press has now gone crazy with their hair on fire reporting of the "fiscal cliff".

Now, I am not an economist, which is probably all to the better here.  But I don't think that this "fiscal cliff" is as dire as people are making out.  Basically, in my observations, the only thing that will happen is that the uber rich won't get as much money every year as before.

OR WILL THEY?
