Remember in November: GOP reps voted for tax cuts for the 2%

The House of Representatives voted down a bill today that would raise taxes on the top 2 percent while keeping them at their current level for the rest of us. Instead, led by Republicans, they voted to extend tax cuts for the wealthy.

Every single Republican but one (Tim Johnson from Illinois) voted FOR tax cuts for the wealthy. Nineteen Democrats voted with them.

Credo Action is outraged:

...the very same politicians who are pleading poverty and yelling the loudest about the need to make brutal budget cuts had no problem voting to give away more tax breaks to the rich and the ultra-rich. 

There is very little that so clearly demonstrates what's broken in Congress than those simultaneously demanding to give the Koch brothers a tax cut while pushing benefit cuts to programs like Social Security and Medicare.

You can sign their petition thanking the members of Congress who voted to end the Bush tax cuts, and asking them to oppose any deficit deal that prevents the tax cuts from expiring as scheduled at the end of the year. Just click here.
