Senate Republicans on Saturday voted against extending the Bush tax cuts to only the middle class in a pair of votes Democrats are seizing to paint the GOP as guardians of the rich.
The Senate voted 53-36 to extend all expiring tax cuts on individuals with incomes of less than $200,000 a year and married couples making less than $250,000 -- seven shy of the required 60 to advance.
The other proposal, which drew opposition from White House officials, would have renewed them for all tax filers with incomes of $1 million or less. That also failed in a 53-36 vote.

What Obama was aso pushing for was an extension of HIS temporary tax cuts...work for pay , etc.
In my mind that’s what this is all about...he can’t STAND that they’re called “Bush era tax cuts”. he wants HIS NAME in the top spot.
exactly!
Yep and Pelosi thinks umemployment money is jobs.
They’re insane.
typo I meant...unemployment money
Love It, absolutely, positively Love It. and it would have been more accurate too.
Thank you DRUDGE
I dare any democrat to speak the truth on they’re 250K definition of rich...
I know mom and pop businesses/HVAC companies/beauty shops/Auto parts/ and so on and so on that make over 230K and they are NOT RICH. THEY PROVIDE JOBS!
As someone else put it inthis thread...
Ever know a poor person that offered jobs?
I meant 250K. typo sorry.
Huh? There are no tax cuts. Quite the opposite, on January 1 there will be tax INCREASES when Bush's cuts expire.
Democrats need to understand that small businesses drive the economy. Increasing taxes on small businesses will drive up unemployment.
Dems love this trend:
Watch for Obama to now redifine the RICH as ONE M I L L I O N
dollars a yr. Maybe he should take away all the fat cat money from the fat cats that went to his slush fund campaign.
I hate lying liberals.
your post goes up in bold my FRiend.
I hate these lying liberals too, and there are so many of them. Dang, do you have any more ammo? I think I am running out of ammo over here. I keep shooting and they keep on a comin'. FRiend could you spare me some of yours?
Amazing .Even on a conseravative forum the liberal mainstram media has brainwashed puppets.
What you tempest say is absoulute Marxis/socialist propaganda spewed by the liberal mainstream media.
Republicans stopped Pelosi’s and democrats from raising taxes. This is a great victory for freedom = the free market.
Pelosi was for this.Need to know anymore?
Yet, some of you on this forum looking to spin this to blame Republican for doing something wrong. Get a clue.
This was no tax cut. This was an attempt to raise taxes on small businesses and others making more than 250,000 per year.
The Republicans voted not to increase taxes on anyone.
Taxes are now low. The democrats want to make them higher. The republicans want to keep them low for everybody.
I agree with keeping them low for everybody.
If the Democrats don’t cooperate, taxes will go higher for everyone.
But 100% voting the right way is still not good enough for many here on this forum. I think they protest too much. They say nothing against democrats who are voting 100% for socialism and destroying this country.
Funny that these so called “conservatives” find themselves on the same side as the liberal media , hating Republicans and blaming Republicans for every problem.
No fat cats = No jobs.
Liberals...I am going to purchase more ammo, or get my own reeducated, without liberal help. You liberals have to be defeated, once and for all. Or America will fail, and I, for one, as many here, realize this is what you (liberals) want. Don't surrender America, Let's fight till none of us are left standing. Make the liberals take it. More ammo please, or maybe this battle is won. I dang sure hope so.
there is 42 Scott brown and Mark Kirk
“BIPARTISAN SENATE VOTE REJECTS TAX INCREASES FOR SELECTED AMERICANS”.
