No SuperRat is happy if there is money in your wallet.

Keep daring them to vote for the equivalent of a tax increase in 2011, GOP...

[Gophack]

Yes, yes, yes! This is great news. If the Senate kills it ... we have a major issue in November. The death tax, which obviously needs to be repealed, can be portrayed by the liberal Democrats as a tax break for the rich. The marriage penalty ... this is something that appeals across the board, affects everyone, and is something that we should be repealing in order to support marriage in this country. It's financially advantageous to be single and live together, rather than married, and that has to stop.

Go Reps!

As Reagan said, Republicans think every day is the fourth of July, and Democrats think every day is April 15th.

Now if only Republicans could take a page from the Dem handbook & put this into their talking points until election day. No republican should be allowed to speak on a talking head show unless they slam Democrats for "punishing married couples".

142 leftist commie scum voted to keep the marriage tax penalty??? That is unbelievable.

If the Senate kills it ...

When the Senate kills it...

It is sooooo refreshing to see House Republicans acting like Republicans!

Stand-up-for-principles BUMP!

That statement hits close to home, that is what my daughter and her "significant other" are doing and they have a child together. Hubby and I are NOT happy about the situation.

[AdA$tra]

They were long over due. Somehow I imagine we will manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before all is said and done.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

All right! And, once again, the Republicans prove the difference between then and the taxaholic demonrats!!!

"When are you going to be honest with people that you have to pay for stuff?" asked Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., looking across the House chamber to the Republican side of the aisle. "When are you going to be honest?

And just how much money is in the SSI Trust fund? Bwahahahaha!

We're going to break the bank for senior citizens when it comes to retirement benefits that they expect to get

You'd think senior citizens were the only people in the country the way the Democrats talk.

I never heard of someone saying they they are shacked up because their taxes would go up should they marry. The 'shack-up' problem is due to something else.

[hchutch]

It makes you wonder - for the Dems it ain't just the money. It's the social engineering. That's the purpose behind the tax code in their minds. It's social engineering by other means, and they don't have the HONESTY to call it social engineering.

Only to have it die in the black hole that is the US Senate. The GOP is going to have one huge list of items passed through the House only to die or stall out in the Senate.

TAKE BACK THE SENATE!!!
