The bill extends only the cuts for the middle-class, letting tax breaks end for families earning more than $250,000 per year and individuals making more than $200,000. Congress originally authorized the cuts in 2001 and 2003.

Three Republicans, Walter Jones (N.C.), Ron Paul (Texas) and John Duncan (Tenn.), voted with Democrats to renew only the middle-class cuts.

Senate Republicans have enough votes to filibuster the proposal, making it highly unlikely it will pass through the upper chamber and onto President Obama's desk.

Now I think this is great news.. Should everyone get a tax cut? Yes.. But it's still better than nothing.

Now McConnell is threatening to filibuster this in the Senate... I know why he's doing it, but imo.. That's not cool.

He's having a hissy fit and basically adopting the position that, if everyone can't have a tax cut.. then NO ONE will get a tax cut.

Which is typical, R-Tard bullshit.
