And the Democrats passed an extension
only three republicans voted to extend
20 Democrats voted against the extension
The Republicans were not voting for a tax hike, or to raise taxes in any way.
They were voting so that the dems will realize that the tax cuts need to ALL be extended.
So, Republicans are voting for the extension of the tax cuts.
That is what they said they were going to do. Liberals just cannot seem to understand common sense.
Oh I think people understand the debate well enough.
Bsically do we give 95% of the population a tax break or do we give a tax break to all 100% of the tax-payers.
The debate is fairly simple, but the arguments supporting each position take a bit of time to absorb.
