I'm not continuing on at all ... I was all in favor of letting the tax cuts expire .. . but just so I have this clear in my mind .. according to you, because more democrats voted against a bill that extended the tax cuts, a bill that they themselves wrote .... a bill that if it hadn't been written at all .. and voted on .... would have allowed those tax cuts to expired and caused this tax increase to the rich ...... it's the republicans fault that those tax cuts are still in place ??? Is that your position ?
The majority of Democrats in every vote in congress since their inception have voted against the Bush tax cuts for the rich, while the majority of Republicans voted for the Bush tax cuts. That same history is continuing in the current deficit debate. The majority of Democrats remain opposed to continuing the tax cuts for the rich while the majority of Republicans support the tax cuts for the rich.
Its been theme leading up to the election and I for one am glad to see the GOP being so open about their overriding priority for lower taxes for the rich.
They are ready to put the full faith and credit of the nation at risk just to protect those tax cuts for the rich. It speaks volumes and America is listening! :sun
