I only hope the Republicans realize that and STOP SAYING NO!
As far as the taxing of bonuses.................Thats awesome! I like how they said, "We want our money back.....Its not that complicated".  And, they're only taxing 90% so the local governments can tax the rest of it.  Its to bad that they let it get to this point, but I like how they are fixing this now that it has gotten here. Hopefully, this bill will pass the Senate and we all can get our money back. |
This bill they are passing will never come true as its illegal and the stimulas bill actually allowed for the bonuses. Its just a show at this point so the Dems can wipe some of that egg off their face. I agree that taking those bonuses was not right at this time but not sure they can do anything about it. The only reason the Dems. want the Rep. to support all this stimulas stuff is so when it fails its not all on the Dems. If the plan was so great they can pass it on their own and then take full credit for saving us. Wow, how many more seats could they pick up at elections if they could run on supporting the stimulas bill and show how the Rep. faught them on these bills. The only reason I think they don't do this is because they are not sure themself.
