This is politics. This isn't public policy.
Read Obama's life story. It's all about the politics.
The guy isn't very interested in public policy.
And Congress has already proven that it's all about the politics, and good public policy be damned.

The justification is Boss Tweed politics at it's best! You scratch my back. I'll scratch yours. If we complain any more that top tax bracket can go much higher. Vote the Jackals out in 2010.
