Senate rejects tax cuts
WASHINGTON (AP) - March 13, 2008 The partisan 52-47 vote was largely symbolic and followed an
overwhelming vote endorsing cuts aimed at low-income workers,
married couples and people with children. But it put senators in
both parties on the record for when the tax cuts actually expire in
three years.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, Republican presidential
nominee-in-waiting, voted for the additional tax cuts. Democratic
rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama voted against them.
