The problem is in the Senate. This is what the House has said all along.

[ElectricStrawberry]

Yeah, I'm the "wealthy." :rolleyes

Why are they so hostile to the wealthy? In this economy, the wealthy can barely get by.

The first paragraph is good. It presents two reasons why Republicans are evil, and why the Democrats are working hard to save the world from evil. Let's see ... it adds to the debt, and it helps the wealthy. OK.

And the Republican viewpoint about why this is a good thing ... I can find that summarizied ... right ... over ... where?

[JohnGalt]

So basically the 'adjustment for inflation' (AKA Bush Tax Cut 2001) will be sped up but the double taxation will be continued?

This is a major loss for conservatives.

[AmericanAge]

Also, the debt is overrated. This is America we're talking about; it's not like people are going to pull out their investments. ;) We could forfeit on our debt, and they'd still invest.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Good news. Now - lets go after the RINO's in the Senate. They should listen to the people of this country who are FED UP, FED UP, FED UP with the governing elite stomping their fellow citizens into the dust. (well, most of us are)

$550 Billion over ten years against a $15,000 Billion budget over ten years. Not much of a tax cut, but I'll take it.

I and about 3 million US citizens who live and work outside the US just got screwed. They removed the $80K/year overseas exemption...

jimmuh carter tried this about twenty five years ago and it wasn't a good idea back then, isn't a good idea now. watch the US marketing presence overseas take a nose-dive folks...

[jungleboy]

This is such a MEASLEY tax cut that I am profoundly OFFENDED!!!!

[lilylangtree]

The real problem comes up with all those wealthy RAT senators like DiFei(nstein), Ketchup Man Kerry, etc.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I thought the original plan was house version = $750B, which the senate cutting in half to $375B. Does this mean we will get $550B/2 = $275B? This is MEASLY. In the end, we just keep getting bigger government. Sigh.

[Republican Wildcat]

The 'wealthy' are the ones who really need to have the taxes cut more than anyone...not because they "need" the money, but because they will buy things from people who do need the money.

I'd like the Democrats to explain how since the unemployment rate is up, how cutting their taxes only will help them when they aren't drawing a salary that can be taxed at all.
