We can call it a re-raise, or, if you're into poker a 'check raise'.
I think a lot of Americans are fed up with the 'trickle down' theory of economics that states if you take the brakes off taxing the wealthy, the money saved will 'trickle down' to the middle and lower income sector.
My guess is that unless you work in a yacht factory or are an undocumented alien, this will not affect your job prospects, at least not enough to justify the lost tax revenue that will either fall on you or get put on the national credit card.
