One Thing Is For Sure: Obama's Tax Plan will Flush Out the Cowardly Democrats
Edited on Mon May-04-09 12:41 PM by berni_mccoy
You can be pretty much assured that there will be Democrats in Congress who vote against Obama's tax plan. In fact, I don't have a lot of hope that his plan will pass because Democrats will not allow it to pass. But the good that will come out of it will be the Democrats who are not really Democrats will be exposed. Like it or not, there are still Dems in Congress who cater to the wealthy global corporations because they help fill the coffers for their re-election bid. And Republicans, well, they would never openly support a Democratic tax plan even if it was for the good of the country. Certainly, we'll get to learn one very valuable thing from this proposed tax plan that must be passed by congress: Are the cowardly Democrats more afraid of the corporations or are they more afraid of the people?

I hope that I am wrong about this, but experience tells me I am not. I'm also very interested in seeing how our newest member of the party, Sen. Specter, will vote for this proposal.

The question is if the people of places like South Dakota would get angry if a Senator voted one way or another on this tax plan.
