This vote changed rules put in place by Republicans way back in 1994. Under those rules, it required a 3/5 vote of Congress to raise taxes -- in other words, that rule REQUIRED bipartisanship. It REQUIRED members of both parties to support a tax increase in order for Congress to be able to raise taxes.
This is the rule that the Democrats just removed. If you hear the Democrats say one single work about bipartisanship, they're outright lying yet again. With the new rule change, Democrats will be able to raise taxes with a simple majority vote -- and you can be sure they will. I'm willing to bet that the upcoming tax increase bills will pass with about a 51-55% vote -- which means they would NOT have passed without the Democrat, partisan rule change.
When you hear them crying for repealing tax cuts for "the rich," you can be sure they're lying. When you hear them claim they'll have "targeted" tax cuts, that means not for you. And you can be sure they will raise taxes substantially -- it's what they do -- and just as reliably, you can be sure they will claim they're NOT raising taxes.
Keep in mind the "leader" of the Democrats in the House is already talking about how he can raise taxes without raising taxes. And they've promised to make the cost of living rise everywhere in the country with new taxes on businesses by raising the minimum wage -- and remember, any time it costs businesses MORE to produce products, it WILL cost the consumer more to purchase those products.
In fact, Charlie Wrangle is even considering a $50 billion tax increase, saying "It's not good for me, but it's good for the American people." Yes, that's a leading Democrat telling you a 50-billion dollar tax increase is "good for you." Don't you love it when people tell you what's best for you because you're a stupid moron and don't know any better?
Sen. Mary Landrieu is screaming for tax increases. She was outraged when tax cuts were even suggested. Sen. Charles Schumer helps to define the Democrat meaning of the word compromise when he admitted it meant "do it my way." Oh sure, he claimed that that was Bush's position, but that's what Democrats do -- lie and then claim your opponent is the one lying.
The new rule which Democrats put in place requires that "any increase in entitlement programs like Medicare would have to have corresponding tax increases." Watch for Democrats to increase entitlements and then scream that they're "required by the rules" to raise taxes -- these rules they just put in place.
If you're working and productive in America today, the Democrats WILL punish you. You have no incentive to work and produce more, because the Democrats in Congress WILL take it from you. So sit back, work less, and let the Democrats take care of you. The rest of us will work enough to support you. And if you are one of the few who works because it's the right thing to do, in spite of the Democrats, congratulations -- you're in the minority and will need to work harder this year to buy the same amount and to bring home the same amount.
