Where can I find out how my congress critter voted?

[Southack]

Bush
Wins
Again

[Rockitz]

We’ll see how this works out. Maybe if the GOP makes Obama and the Dems vote against zeroing out the inheritance tax and other detestable provisions of this plan in the new congress, it will bring the senate and the presidency back to GOP control.

[DustyMoment]

What a hoot!! zero has to plead with his own party to support the Bush tax cuts that he has routinely blamed for the economy he inherited.

It is to laugh!!!

[americanophile]

So the Democrats have voted for tax cuts for the rich!

[matt1234]

Let’s see if the MSM continues to call them “tax cuts for the rich.”

[dalereed]

Republicans are a bunch of sell out socialist bastards!!!!

[OldNavyVet]

Democrats have no idea as to how wealth is created. Their demand-side economics is ruining our nation.

[Hoodat]

It . . . slashes the employee payroll tax by 2 percent for one year

Gee, isn't that what Bush tried to do a few years back, except that he wanted the condition in place that the money go into a retirement account like an IRA or 401(k). As I recall, the Democrats screamed bloody murder at that, yet now they allow the same tax reduction with no provision that the money go towards a retirement account. What hypocrites!

I would encourage everyone with a 401(k) to direct that additional 2% into that account.

The estate tax is the most vile act of the Federal government. It exempts corporations and penalized private ownership.

[Hoodat]

Seeing how this bill originated in the Senate instead of the House, how can it possibly become law?

[surfer]

What have they done? They just don’t hear the people...

Now Obama will take credit for this as HIS tax cuts but this will go down in history as the largest stimulus ever done and it will add yet ANOTHER TRILLION to our debt...

What are they thinking?

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Can the next Congress, successfully, fix things and greatly improve things, for the long-term future of the U.S.? A question very similar to my, still, used tagline.

[Carley]

We are sorry that the free world paid such a terrible price for supporting this madman in the White House.

[chuckles]

I can't believe they went two years on this. Try to imagine two years from now with unemployment most likely still above 9%, and the anointed one starts saying we need to elect him to raise taxes. In my whole life I've never seen someone elected or re elected promising to raise taxes. He just may be a one term POTUS. Even if we get into the 8% levels, do you want to muck it up raising taxes?

He's toast.

[Redcloak]

How is this a victory for 0bama when he wanted to soak the “rich”?

[bIlluminati]

Frank and Fudge voted NO. Why does he get two votes?

Pence also voted NO.

The GOP-favored inheritance tax of 35% for individuals worth more than $5 million, the Speaker said, “is not good policy. It does have not have a favorable impact on the deficit. It does not create jobs, It does not grow the economy.”

...it does not outright mug families with small businesses and farm any more than about 1 out of every 3 dollars they are passing on to their children. It is still OUTRAGEOUS.

[South40]

“I applaud President Obama for his side of the ledger,” Pelosi said.

Barry threatened her with a bucket of water to get her to say that.

[Bobby_Taxpayer]

"In a floor speech Thursday night, Pelosi endorsed the estate tax amendment but pointedly refused to explicitly back the underlying bill. The GOP-favored inheritance tax of 35% for individuals worth more than $5 million, the Speaker said, “is not good policy. It does have not have a favorable impact on the deficit. It does not create jobs, It does not grow the economy.”"

Since when does taxes cause deficits you dimwits?? What about SPENDING? GOT IT NOW? or do you need another dose of voter anger in 2012?
