I find it interesting that the Democrats are against the tax extension because they say it would line the pockets of the millionaires, many being small business owners who could create jobs if they were not taxed to death.

However, the Democrats were very quick to vote for trillions in stimulus dollars that did not keep the unemployment from going above 8 percent as Obama promised, but instead allowed the big corporate millionaires and billionaires to pay themselves and their executives millions in bonuses, with tax payer dollars.

What is wrong with that picture?
