BREAKING NEWS: Democrats vote in Senate to let tax rates rise

All Republicans in the Senate voted together along with Ben Nelson voted to keep the current tax rate structure while Democrat Senators voted to allow the tax rates rise for individuals and small business. Democrats seem to enjoy killing the economy although with the jump in jobless claims, it is already on life support. Today's announcement of an unexpected jump in unemployment rates shows the economy is not recovering like the Democrats were pushing. Weekly jobless claims climb 19,000 to 479,000, at highest levels since April.

What is the Democrat answer to a bad economy? Raise taxes and make sure they hit small business owners who provide a lot of the jobs. It is almost like the Dems want a bad economy so government can take over more of our lives.

While Michelle Obama vacations in Spain with her youngest daughter on our taxpayer dollars, unemployment rises. Why can't the Obama's just stay home in the White House and stop going overseas? Maybe that is why the Democrats want to raise taxes so the Obama's can take more trips at our expense or throw bigger weekly parties.

With these two identical 58-42 votes, all Senate Democrats except Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., just voted to let rates rise for individuals and small businesses beginning next year. The vote, forced by Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., would have extended the current, lower rates for the two categories.
