The ultra rich don't want the tax cuts to expire. Where do you get that notion?
Do you know how long Welfare has been in effect? There have been Republicans in office as well as Democrats - if what you are suggesting is true, the Democrats would always be in office.
The Republicans in Congress are also ones that don't want the tax cuts to expire - so your suggestion is that they are willing to give up votes in order to help the rich, which in turn helps the poor?
And so the myth of republicans as the party of the budget-conscious suffers yet another crushing blow. Their true platform is clearly to extend tax cuts to the wealthy people who have given them money, as the economic “theory” behind tax cuts for the rich as a stimulus for the economy has been destroyed by facts so many times it’s not even funny. Tax cuts for the rich are effectively non-stimulatory, as they have repeatedly been shown to produce no changes in spending. The republicans are selling us deeper into debt with this one, and decades of economic data say that their only argument for doing so is a complete and utter falsehood.

I don't know where you get your information, but it appears to be coming from some right-wing source that wants you to believe it is in your best interest, if you are middle class and below, when the facts show the opposite to be true.
There is one way to get business and financial elites to reinvest in the economy - take the money from them. This policy option is, after all, the law, considering that the Bush administration explicitly set up their tax cuts to expire by the end of the 2000s. The Bush tax cuts will only be allowed to continue if the Democratic Party (or a split government following the midterm elections) agrees to extend them. We have a real chance over the next year to take a stand against corporate corruption and greed. Americans can demand that the Bush era tax cuts for the rich come to an end, or they can sit by and watch while Republicans (and conservative Democrats) push for their extension. The latter path will spell disaster for America's working class, while the rich will be left laughing all the way to the bank.

Do you have sources at all to back your statements, or you just repeating what you hear Limbaugh or Beck or some other wealthy Republican spew out? The deficit will decrease, because those tax cuts will not have to be paid for, if they expire. Your fabrication sounds like the "fear machine" of the Republican party has been doing a number on you.
