Some Democrats break with leaders on tax cuts
Nancy Pelosi and House Majority leader Steney Hoyer were sent a letter by 31 House Democrats supporting the continuation of tax breaks for everyone, rather than letting them expire for the wealthy. Unsurprisingly, as we discussed in class the importance of appearing moderate, many of those who signed are up for reelection this year.

This whole tax issue is really disturbing. No one on the left or the right likes the idea of raising taxes, but sadly it is something that has to be done. Someone needs to pay for all the spending we do. Politicians on both sides need to realize that yes it might be very unpopular to raise taxes on some income levels, but it is the right thing to do....again though no one wants to do the right thing they just want to do what will get them elected and that is why some Democrats are breaking with their leaders on the tax issue.
