In much the same fashion as Nancy Pelosi pushed through the massively unpopular health care bill despite election losses in 2009, she is at it again, this time with a bill to raise taxes on those people who actually create jobs. The message of the November elections was clear: We need to cut spending, reduce the size of government, and return power to the people. On taxes, we certainly should not be raising the rates on anyone when unemployment is still near ten percent. That's a certain job killer, but Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are pushing full steam ahead.
Despite calls to not raise taxes, Nancy Pelosi forced a vote on maintaining the current tax rates only for the so-called "middle class." By a vote of 234-188, Democrats voted to raise taxes for families earning over $250,000 a year and individuals who earn over $200,000. Everyone knows that these taxpayers pay most of the taxes. They also do the hiring, and if Barack Obama is serious about creating jobs, then the last thing you want to do is raise taxes.
