because the GOP held the middle-class tax cut hostage in order to get the total Bush cut for the wealthy..
and you think that's funny? and how your leaders should act? (
)
figures.. funny how you have no problem with a deficit as long as the wealthy benefit, but O'lordy jesus, if a nigrah got a food stamp, you'd be raising all hell wouldn't you....
You love that N word huh?
It's only been a year ago when this vote happened. How quickly they forget.
Remember, it was a Democratic Senate and and
Democratic House. Not a Republican one. In fact, House
Minority leader Boehner had already conceded on the the tax cut for the wealthiest.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upshot/boehner-hints-compromise-bush-tax-cuts.htmlSorry, but it was the Dems who blinked. And they did for the same reason that they didn't eliminate the Bush tax cuts when they had the power to do so; they were afraid of voter reaction, not the minority Congressional Republican reaction. The only tax increase they passed was the 500 or so billion tax included in Obamacare.
Now? They're all about tax hikes, but that's only because they can't do it without Republicans, which would remove it as a political issue for 2012.
