Senate Dems Kill Obama Tax Plan.....
In a shocking repudiation of President Obama’s “soak the rich”
economic plans, Senate Democrats today blocked a vote on President
Obama’s proposal to raise taxes on those earning more than $250,000 per
year. Senate Republicans had proposed an immediate vote on the measure.
In fact, they proposed two votes: one to extend the Bush tax cuts in
their totality, the other to raise taxes as per Obama’s plan. “My
recommendation is we give the president what he asked for,” said Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The strategy for McConnell and Republicans is simple: they want to
show Americans that even Democrats recognize that the Bush tax cuts
ought to be extended for all Americans. And Democrats want to avoid that
vote, so they can continue posturing and conducting class warfare.
If anyone is the party of "NO" it is the Dems!
