Obey to Wisconsin - "I want to raise your taxes."

This week has been an excellent cross-section of Dave Obey's career . . . he voted for bad energy policy, he voted for taxpayer funded abortions and he's tried to tax us more and spend more. Oh, and let's not forget he said he'd like to die "kicking the hell out of someone in the well of the House."

We forgot to mention this vote on Wednesday. Dave Obey voted against the tax relief measure that extended the 10% tax bracket (otherwise everyone paying in this bracket would see the rate jump back to 15%) as well as relief for the middle class and small business owners from the alternative minimum tax.
