Senate Dems reject Obama's tax plan

He can't even sell it to his own party.

Senate Democrats have jettisoned President Obama’s proposal to raise taxes on families making more than $250,000, raising the threshold to $1 million in an attempt to win more Democratic votes. Democratic leaders say they want to impose a 5 percent surtax on the tax liability of millionaires, which would raise about $445 billion over 10 years — roughly the cost of Obama’s jobs proposal.





Even with the overhaul of Obama’s jobs package, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he was not certain it would gain unanimous Democratic support. But Democratic leaders believe the change will broaden the bill’s popularity in their caucus.
