This was predictable.
The Democratic-led House overwhelmingly approved a bill on Thursday to slap punishing taxes on big employee bonuses from AIG and other firms bailed out by taxpayers.
The vote was 328-93.
But
this wasn't.
Almost all Democrats voted for the measure, but the GOP conference was literally split in half, with conservatives – led by Minority Leader John Boehner – voting against the bill. But dozens of other Republicans, including Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Reps. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), waited until the last minute to vote yes, making a difficult vote in favor of a tax increase.
So, now that Eric Cantor has voted for a 90% tax on the rich, does that make him officially a "socialist?" :)
