House Dems pass middle class tax cuts

[Ravi]

Using a wily procedural maneuver to tie Republican hands, House Democrats managed to pass, by a vote of 234-188, legislation that will allow the Bush tax cuts benefiting only the wealthiest Americans to expire.
Democrats were not united on the issue. Twenty voted with Republicans to kill the tax cut bill, as they hold out for extending additional cuts to wealthy Americans -- though 3 Republicans, including Reps. Ron Paul (TX) and Walter Jones (NC) voted for the tax cut extensions. However the outcome will (and was designed to) allow Democrats to draw distinctions between themselves and Republicans during the 2012 election cycle.

Stupid libtards didn't get enough of a message on election night huh?

It has no chance of getting passed in the Senate! Filbuster anyone? Look they needs to compromise on it and they didn't, now they will feel the wrath! Setting the mark at $1 million, when they keep saying lets raise the tax on millionaires, why then do they toss in people who make $750K under a million?

Even if $1 mil was too high for them, most Americans (including this one) would accept $750K!

The vast majority of Americans agree to extending the cuts for the middle class, so yes, I do believe they got the message.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Actually, they ok'd not raising taxes on people in the midst of a recession.

 

[manifold]

So what exactly was the "wily procedural maneuver?"

Actually taking a vote on it?

I know you don't get it, because you never do! But all the Republicans, WHO PASSED THE ORIGINALLY ONE AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS WISHES, are for tax breaks for the middle class.

HOWEVER, Americans are also against raising taxes on small business, ESPECIALLY THE SUCCESSFUL ones that hire the majority of Americans! Successful small business owners fall between the $250-$750K range!!!

When employment shoots above 10%, YOU DEMOCRATIC FOOLS WILL BE TO BLAME!!!

Most jobs created by small business are created by start ups...this will not affect them whatsoever. Start ups rarely clear $100,000 in profit, let alone $250,000. And profit is all they will pay tax on.

why do you care if people earning over $250,000 a year go back to paying what they paid during the prosperous years under clinton?

i think the rightwingnuts are getting the wrong message from the election, which means they're going to get their butts kicked again in two years.

arrogance does that.

I'll take clinton and republican control of both houses. no problem.

If tax rates aren't changing, then how can it be called a tax cut?

 

[elvis]

i think they are extending the cuts that were supposed to expire.

 

[wyomingpatriot]

tax cuts should have expired across the board. the country simply cant afford them. if anything, taxes need to be higher.

I agree but the Republicans need to keep their donors happy.
