WASHINGTON—House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will try to force a vote on the House floor to extend current tax rates for the middle class next week if Republicans do not act, the California Democrat announced on Friday.
During a press conference on Capitol Hill, Pelosi called on House Republicans, who control the chamber, to hold another floor vote on whether to extend current tax rates for individuals who earn $200,000 or less and families making $250,000 or less. If they don't, Pelosi vowed to file a "discharge petition" that would force a vote if 218 House members sign it, which is unlikely.
Pelosi said she wanted the bill passed so Congress will have more time to negotiate broader tax reform in 2013.
raise taxes, but we'll do it in the guise of lowering taxes for middle class and the we'll kick the can down the road and never solve the problem! And get this, the people we benefit own the largest % of votes and arent smart enough or care what we did and the small % we are screwing dont have the votes to impact us! its brilliant!
