Republican power

This article continues the saga of the Tax cuts and discusses how Senate Republicans are working together to ensure that no bill gets passed unless the tax cuts are extended for all. It is very interesting to see these kind of tactics being used when such bills as money for 9-11 rescue workers is being sidelined in order to push a tax cut for the richest portions of Americans.
