Here's the list of weaslecrats who support extending Bush tax cuts for the rich. This is a sell out the middle-class, it undercuts the Democrats and the Obama middle class tax cut, and would lead to increase in the budget deficit. When can we start calling them red dogs?
The following Democrats have come out in support of extending all of the George W. Bush-era tax cuts. A full extension of the tax cuts would include those individuals making more than $200,000 annually and families making more than $250,000. This list will be updated as more members make their position known. Please send updates and feedback to jay.heflin@thehill.com .
