McCaskill: Tax cuts for the rich: "This is insanity."
Edited on Sat Dec-11-10 12:45 AM by usregimechange
Republicans have gone around the bend. They have now blocked Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, military pay raises, unemployment benefits, medical care for 9/11 first responders, tax cuts for small businesses, and tax cuts for working families -- all to give extra tax benefits to folks on their second million dollars in income.

I don’t care if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, an independent, or a Tea Party member -- no American can take the Republicans’ promises about fiscal responsibility, deficit reduction, and protecting the middle class seriously anymore. Not after this week. This is insanity.

No matter what, we need to get this middle-class tax cut passed now, but that won’t be the end of this fight.

Join me now: Sign your name if you think we need to keep fighting to end the extra tax bonus to multi-millionaires, and use the money to reduce our debt.

3. Her petition is confusing. Is she saying we have to support this deal & then keep fighting?
Or is she going to fight some now?

7. I agree
and her message is confusing. I would sign if she said he wouldn't vote for it unless it were redone but she is just getting attention to look like she really fought for something and then just had to vote yes.
If the deficits are so bad that we have to have drastic budget cuts on the neediest should be getting help.

She understands who pushed for what.
