Way to go, confiscatory Republicans. Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd, and Barney Grabby Hands Frank thank you!
HR 1586 roll call vote
http://clerk.house.gov/cgi-bin/vote.asp?year=2009&rollnumber=143
Any earmarked goodies hidden within this vote?
Malkin’s missing the point.
None of my congresscreeps are on the Benedict Arnold wall of shame list.
It would sure be nice to see these guys tried for Treason but that is a pipe dream. Failing that, maybe someday when someone petitions the Supremes they will declare this POS legislation UN-Constitutional as it is.
That is if the petition gets by the law clerk and if the Supremes think it is worthy of consideration or they have not been bought off like the rest of Washington, whores that they are.
Cantor’s the most disappointing for me.
There’s a good list to start with on who needs to be voted out of office. If they want to toss out the constitution they need to be tossed out themselves.
I thought this kind of bill was unconstitutional.
Sent this letter to my idiot. Thats 2 in 2 days. Its on. I gave him the benefit of the doubt as a newbie on the GIVE act. He is toast.
Congressman Rooney,
I can honestly say I had hoped that you were not going to be another RINO. I now know that I wasted another vote. In the last 2 days, you have voted to enforce mandatory volunteerism, an oxymoron especially to a conservative like myself. I have brought my children up to give back to their communities. Now government is going to do that for me? Mandatory Volunteering is servitude, conscription, serfdom, and it is a socialist tenet. If it were attached to those who only take, like welfare receipents for life, or section 8 receipients as a way to give back some of what they take, so be it.
The scarier issue for me here is you vote to raise taxes on big bonus earners. You have attached your name to a bill that will be found unconstitutional. Maybe you should try reading the constitution, the bill of rights, the declaration of independence. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary.....It is becoming necessary. I had hoped you were going to prove to be a champion of America. It seems as though in your short time in office, you are helping to tear down a country that you claim to love.
I had hoped we would have an ally in the congress. A voice. It is apparent that our representation in Florida is non existent, and we are assisting the current congress and administration on their extremely rapid march toward socialism.
May your children forgive you, I know I will not.
..................stop allowing them to take your money.............
You know who always seems to vote the right (literally and figuratively) way? Jeb Hensarling.
Well case closed. Prepare to abandon ship. Every man for himself.
The Senate will not even look at it this month and their bill wants 70%. It ain’t going to happen.

And here comes the Fascism. :D
Thank you asswipes in the House. :(
I would have voted against it.
Only because it should have been 120 percent. AIG isn’t too big to fail, we just have Politicians with such tiny amounts of integrity that they can’t stop it.

I am willing to give a pass to any rep who voted for this, as long as they voted against TARP (both times) and Porkulus.
Using the tax code this way is wrong though those AIG buffoons don’t deserve a dime.
However, this is a dilemma that should never have existed.
Taxing at 90% is Socialist, but not as Socialist as taking $165 Billion (and counting) of taxpayer money to bail out a horribly run corporation. The question of whether bailed out companies should be be allowed to pay huge bonuses should never have come up, because there should be no bailed out companies in the first place.
This sort of reminds me of Octomom. She did the “right” thing by implanting all her embryos, rather than murdering them, like so many do. But, it was morally wrong to produce so many in the first place. Like Octomom, Congress, Bush, Paulson and 0bama have created a litany of problems for which there are no “right” answers, only degrees of wrong ones.
I didn’t know this was Rangel’s idea. The number 1 tax evader from NYC want’s to tax the wealthy. I don’t know how they are getting away with this sht&*%
