Democrat Congressman Blows the Lid On His Own Party's Budget

Following up on the Democrats’ Budget Conference Report that passed the House last Thursday, I'd like to reiterate again how irresponsible and damaging the budget will be if appropriated in its current form. However, I think Democrat Congressman Bill Foster (IL-14) does a pretty good job blowing the lid off exactly how bad his own party's plan actually is.
His release from last Thursday states,“I can’t support a budget, from either party, that raises taxes on the middle class. This bill hurts families all across the 14th District by eliminating the 10-percent bracket for lower-income taxpayers, reinstating the marriage penalty and increasing taxes on small businesses and investments."
Rep. Foster is one of 14 Democrats who joined with 196 House Republicans in voting against it. I do wonder why no one in the media has put a microphone in front of his mouth like they do evertime a Republican brakes rank and joins the Democrats.

They don't because he is telling everyone that the democrat plan is really going to hurt people other than the rich, and that would blow a big hole in the democrat's lie about caring for the middle class.
That would weaken the democrat's position that Bush is solely responsible for our economy, and would remind people that Congress is the one who makes up the budget and appropriates the funds.
It would further remind people that the economy didn't start getting really bad until the democrats took over Congress, and that they are the real problem.
This also destroys any credible argument against the Bush tax cuts which have been repeatedly mis-characterized as being "for the rich" by the lying liberals.
The Bush tax cuts benefited EVERYONE including the rich, yet the lying liberal socialists hate the rich because, well, that's what socialists do.
Finally, the don't put a microphone in front of him because he is saying the democrats are WRONG about the taxes.
