Senate Democrats produce empty show, passing useless tax legislation. Everyone knows all tax bills must originate in the House.
That is what I thought, that all tax registration must start in the House Committee of Ways and Means. This means it was a political show to get the vote and to blame the Republicans.
I hope everyone enjoyed watching Government Theater and how Biden was there to save the day for middle class Americans if it should be a tie. I wonder how much that show cost the tax payers.
It was done to bolster Obama's campaign. Now he has something to talk about.
If the Repubs are smart then they'll just pull a "Harry Reid" and table it until after the elections.

The sad part is how many will fall for it. Public education has dumbed Americans down for a reason... To earn more votes for Dems (NEA, anyone?) by political posturing and pulling stunts that are blatantly unConstitutional.

Look at how many Dems fell for it in this thread.
Democrats know doing this is unconstitutional. Your right and unfortunately people will believe the drama. This is all portraying the Republicans as "evil". Its all about getting elected.
How does it feel to have the Obama and the Democrats play with your life to get re-elected?
The legislation, almost certain to be rejected by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Putting this stage show on lets Democrats claim in advance of the November 6 elections that they passed tax cuts for most Americans, was stymied by Republicans, "evil" Republicans. They will be told that Republicans don't care about the middle class.
This was a stage show
It is unconstitutional
Republicans know that if passed the result will be a loss of about 800 million more jobs.
President Obama has never explicitly stated that taxing the rich will bring in much revenue. Instead, the president gave voters the impression that the Republicans refusal to "tax the rich" is the main cause of the deficit and the obstacle to solving the fiscal crisis. When in fact his spending is the cause of the deficit.
There are simply not enough rich to pay down debt and to fund the president´s preferred level of spending. For all the attention it has received, President Obama’s “taxing the rich” policy can best be described as symbolic in nature. Although it will hurt all Americans, they continue pushing for it. It is symbolic to get your vote.
