Buck McKeon Votes Against the Biggest Tax Cut in History

Congress today passed the biggest tax cut in history.

Buck McKeon voted against it.

President Obama is expected to sign the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 within days. The "stimulus bill" contains $282 billion in tax cuts over two years. Most Americans — an estimated 95% — will receive some tax relief. The middle class will benefit most. The rich? Not so much.

Under former President Bush, rubber-stamp Republican Buck McKeon repeatedly voted to give tax cuts to multinational corporations and high-flying billionaires. He voted to spend $700 billion to make sure investment bankers didn't lose their year-end bonuses.

Now he votes against tax cuts for the middle class.

Of course, Buck McKeon doesn't represent the middle class. Never has. He's counting on his big-money donors to save him from the wrath of middle-class voters in 2010.

Good luck, Buck.
