Bill - S. 1323:
"Mr. REID introduced the following bill; which was read twice and ordered to be placed on the calendar"
"Sense of the Senate- It is the sense of the Senate that any agreement to reduce the budget deficit should require
that those earning $1,000,000 or more per year make a more meaningful contribution to the deficit reduction effort."
The Final Vote was 69-27 in favor.
17 "Republicans" joined Reid in support of his Class War ideology propaganda game (a vote which carries not weight).
24 Republicans wanted no part of this (along with 1 Dem)
So who are these Republicans that sided with Reid on his pet 'declaration' called "Sense of the Senate Vote"???...

Here's what Jim Demint had to say about this REID's "Sense of the Senate" voting shenanigans:
-"Sen. Reid's "Sense of the Senate" resolution (S. 1323),
currently on the Senate floor, contains no actual policy.
It notes several class-warfare non-sequiturs, and then calls
on Americans making more than $1 million per year "to make
a more meaningful contribution to the deficit reduction effort."
-Jim DeMint
I think we should go back to Pelosi’s “windfall profit tax” and tax those who don’t produce a product, yet earn a million a year, say... 80%?
You know, actors, directors, politicians....
You lefct out the coupon clippers, the really diseased wealthy in the democrap puddle.
Now, I can support it. And, given the amount of effort the Bolshies are putting in, how can they not agree?
I am from Alabama and am very unhappy to see Session’s name on the wrong side of this issue.

I would have been surprised to not find the queer's name on the list.
Still wondering if he will come out of the closet or switch parties first.
Okay, the usual pack of sick scum voted with Reid for the socialist rhetoric, but Jeff Sessions?
I can’t get my brain around that one. He’s usually decent and civilized. I wonder what happened?
Man that just broke my heart. I’d like to hear his explanation.
Nebraska was interesting. The Republican voted with Reid and the Dimocrat, Nelson, voted nay. Of course, Nelson is running scared because of the animosity towards him after the health care bill fiasco.
Still, curiouser and curiouser as Alice said.
The exact opposite of what I would have expected from our Indiana boys. Email to Mr. Coats on its way.
What you said:
We now have more meaningful contribution to go along with share the pain and fair share. All these mean the same thing. From each according to ability
Needs to be said again and again and again until it is like a mantra drilled into the atmosphere that permeates everywhere... share the pain = more meaningful contribution = fair share = from each according to ability = MARX
“Im not sure what he was thinking with that Yes vote.”
Mitch doesn’t think, he’s with his compadres.
John Cornyn -TXhas to go.”
Heartily agree but he doesn’t run again until 2014. Didn’t see Hutchinson’s name anywhere. Has she retired early? Generally one of them votes no and the other one yes. So we net out with no representation.
All “Yes” votes were by RINOS! I’m sorry to America for my TN senators. I didn’t vote for either one.
Amen. I’m ashamed. I wrote in other candidates rather than vote for Lamar! and Corker (Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb - it’s like Charlie Brown has been cloned.)
Van Hilleary should be run out of the state.
Not voting was the smart thing to do. There is no need to give any credence to this crap. It signifies nothing but a negative. These people were either smart or absent.
Knowing Murkowski, she was just absent.
Brown (D-OH)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Rubio (R-FL)
Vitter (R-LA)
You left off the other Texas RINO who voted with Reid; Hutchison, the pro-abortion, pro-pornography Senator from American Airlines.
KBH voted for it also.
John Cornyn -TXhas to go.
