In Memorial of 47
I subscribe to Mega-Vote, which regularly emails key Senate and House votes.
Here's a breakdown of what was in today's:
(tell me again how republicans only care about the uber-rich)
Small Business Tax Cut Act - Vote Passed (235-173, 1 Present, 22 Not Voting)
This House bill would give businesses with fewer than 500 employees a 20 percent tax deduction for the 2012 tax year. The bill is unlikely to advance in the Senate.
So, while republicans pass bills to bolster small businesses, democrats try to pass legislation meant to stunt growth:
Cloture Motion; Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012 - Vote Rejected (51-45, 4 Not Voting)
The Senate failed to reach the sixty vote threshold needed to move forward on this bill to raise tax rates on taxpayers earning more than $1 million.
