Derby Trail Forums - Every Senate GOP just voted to raise your taxes

Dear America,

This afternoon, every Republican in the United States Senate just voted to raise your taxes.

Good luck!

Reality.

PS - but don't worry: Senate Democrats got your tax cut passed

Quote:

The political maneuvering worked for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and failed for Republican Mitch McConnell. The Senate just voted to advance a middle-class tax cut extension by a vote of 51-48.

Reid finally succeeded in doing what Republicans have been fighting for nearly two years: separating the middle-class tax cut extension from the tax cuts for the wealthy, and that breaks the hold the Republicans have had on this hostage.
