Figures. Senate Dems Block Obama’s Tax Hike on Small Business Owners (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 12:04 PM
Senate Democrats blocked a vote today on Barack Obama’s tax hike on small business owners.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell asks for votes on President Obama’s plan to raise taxes on small businesses and on a GOP plan to prevent any tax increases next year. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) objects.
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY): “On Monday, the president said if the
Senate passes this tax hike on small businesses, he would sign it right away. That’s what he said Monday, two days ago. I can’t see why our friends on the other side wouldn’t want to give him the chance. So with that, Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that at 2:00 p.m. today, the motion to proceed to S.2237 be adopted and that the first two
amendments in order to the bill be the Hatch-McConnell amendment number 2491, which would provide for the extension of current rates while we work on tax reform, and a Reid or designee amendment to enact the president’s proposal which as I have said would impose job-killing taxes on nearly one million business owners.”
THE PRESIDING OFFICER: “Is there an objection?”
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): “…Madam President, I object.” (Sens. McConnell & Reid, Floor Remarks, 7/11/12)

Jim! Didn’t get much sleep last night, but I think that headline needs another word:
“Vote”…right after “Tax Hike”

Course they will wait until after the elections, then they will be happy to pass any bill that taxes all the government slaves…..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Obama killed the economy and his pink slip is next.

Guess who Dingy Harry, Princess Pelosi and Barry will blame. If the guess was Republicans, go to the head of the line. All of the mess this country has been in the five years can be laid on the shoulders of all three.

Forgot to add George W Bush to that list.

I was told that if we supported Mitt Romney, a power mad mormon would obstruct the goals of our President. And they were right!

Are there any Mormons who can help me understand if this man is a member in good Standing? I can’t believe any group would allow their name to be thrown out by this creep and not object.

that’s your opinion, here’s mine:
God Bless George & Laura Bush!!
i, for one, still cannot believe how well President Bush (#54) fared,
especially considering all that he was up against, including some in
his own inner circle (more here (#64) and here (#82)..
