1. Which tax cuts specifically does Sen. Bayh want extended?

Some of the cuts, such as the "death tax" will probably be made permanent. But the taxes on the top 2% of Americans should definitely go back to 36% (or 39.6% for singles with no dependents making over $250,000/yr).

2. I was going to ask why inheritance tax would be extended

but then it occurred to me that most congress critters are multi millionaires and as such would not vote to in any way hurt themselves.

[Enthusiast]

14. Generally speaking, Democrats do not follow the lead

of Republicans by calling the inheritance tax the "death tax". And most of us do want the inheritance tax restored.

3. He has to finish...

doing his dirty work before he leaves.

4. Whaa!!??? They are already paying 16-20% now.

Really. The top earners in the country pay less in FED income tax than most people here. As a percentage of total net income. Geez!!

Do you ever ever hear Hannity or O' Lielly tell you HOW much they ACTUALLY pay in Federal taxes? NO.Because its about 16-20% I gaureeeeunteee you!

Anytime I hear a conservative moaning about how outrageous their taxes are I think they are lying or they are stupid.

5. Bayh has been a Republican in a Democratic suit and will continue

to be up to the very end of his term. nt

[Ganja Ninja]

6. I would rather have Republican rule than Democrats ruling like Republicans.

I mean it. If we have to lose to get rid of people like Evan Bayh then so be it. He and his ilk are why people say there is no difference between the two parties. He gives Democrats a bad name.

7. You know how to beat um. How the hell you going to pay for it,

what about the DEFICITS? I think what will happen the Democrats will cave in and give up the tax increases in order to extend unemployment. That's what this dog and pony show is all about.

8. And this asshole was on Obama's short list for VP.

[ladywnch]

9. Byah hasn't been in the press for a while

he's looking for headlines.....he and his fellow blue dogs...... this is all about getting him some press that he can ride upto the November elections. worthless POS!!!!

10. ahhh, another CNBC circle jerk.

11. Bayh is a DLC New Dem, so would his view really surprise anyone?

eom

[BetterThanNoSN]

12. unreal..

Well now, wonder if his being worth a few million dollars puts him in this 'extend the Bush tax cuts' camp? Just like i wonder if his owning a million dollars in Wellpoint stock put him in the 'not for health reform' camp. Effin corporate shill, Bye Bayh!!!!

[SemperEadem]

13. see, this is why it's a good thing his ass is retiring from the Senate

we dont' need any more true republicans wearing democratic clothing in our party. The tent is big, yes, but not that gotdamb big.
