MTP - Mike Pence vs Chris Van Hollen
Van Hollen says the current House WILL vote on the Tax cuts, whether it’s before or after the elections. Claims the Repub’s are holding American taxpayers hostage trying to get the tax “breaks” for the wealthiest.
Pence - Congress should have no higher priority than extending these tax cuts. Says this Congress is putting politics before prosperity. Higher taxes on job creators won’t creat jobs. It would be unconscionable to not pass this now.
MTP, Van Hollen says we’ve had these “Bush” tax rates for the last 9 years and look where the economy and jobs are. HUH??? (This guy is an idiot.)
Pence asks if Van Hollen thinks these tax rates haven’t helped the economy in the last 9 years, does he seriously think raising taxes in January, 2010 will increase jobs?
