Senator Cornyn sides with the One Percent
In voting to protect millionaires and billionaires from the slightest tax increase, Senator Cornyn effectively voted to raise taxes on hard working Texans. He is a disgrace to our State. He’s a party line political hack who does nothing in the best interest of Texans who fall within the 99%.
Senator Harry Reid:
“Republicans spent this week trying to convince us that they support middle-class tax cuts, but tonight a majority of Senate Republicans voted against their own bill -– calling into question whether they support middle-class tax cuts at all,”
said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).“I was encouraged to see one Republican join Democrats in asking millionaires to pay their fair share,” Reid said. “But because every other Republican continues to insist on protecting millionaires, middle class families could face a $1,000 tax increase next year.”
President Obama:
“Tonight, Senate Republicans chose to raise taxes on nearly 160 million hardworking Americans because they refused to ask a few hundred thousand millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share,” he said. “That is unacceptable. It makes absolutely no sense to raise taxes on the middle class at a time when so many are still trying to get back on their feet.”
We need to fire Senator Cornyn in 2014!
