The accusations started here:

So you admit that this bill is full of hidden tax increases?  Because until now, you have steadfastly refused to acknowledge this point (Now that you've been baited into admitting it, you claim it was "obvious from the first page".  So obvious in fact, you've neglected to mention it until now!).

After I tore apart his ridiculous argument that there was a separate capital gains tax that was not repealed by this. Capital gains are taxed under this at a 16% rate, just like all other personal income, but it does replace the current capital gains tax. That doesn't make it less revenue neutral, since my income tax revenue statistic used to calculate the rate includes capital gains income AND payroll tax income. This replaces both.

People who don't know what they're talking about shouldn't make accusations, and better yet, shouldn't lie about my motives when he knew from page one there were no deductions, or wouldn't have compared it to the payroll tax.

The "names" started here:

The bill's advocates had to lie and obfuscate to even get this bill seriously considered.

it's AB-Stain! The neutral vote that's both a floor wax AND a desert topping!

(Count that as an abstain vote)

How about this? I'll flip a coin. Heads, you vote yes. Tails, you vote no. Smiley

This legislation now has enough votes to fail; senators now have 24 hours to change their votes.

Senators now have 24 to come to the right decision.

Yes, it appears so.

With five votes against to none in favor, and with three abstaining, this bill has failed.

Even though Supersoulty doesn't like me doing this, I'm just reminding the PPT that this bill has been dead for over two days now.

Just a friendly reminder, that's all.  Smiley
