Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) went on a tangent yesterday after Barack Obama announced he would extend the current tax rates. The true democrat told reporters that the agreement between Obama and Republican leaders to keep the current tax rates was "almost morally corrupt."
Note: This is the same democrat who defended her decision to work out a $100 million Louisiana Purchase deal for her Obamacare vote and told Republicans to shut up about it.
Landreiu believes it is "almost morally corrupt" for wealthy Americans to keep their money.
The Huffington Post reported:
"It's what I'm calling the Obama-McConnell plan. We're going to borrow $46 billion from the poor, from the middle class, from businesses of all sizes basically to give a tax cut to families in America today, that despite the recession, are making over a million dollars. I mean, this is unprecedented. Unprecedented. I want to repeat that," she said. Landrieu added, however, that she had yet to make a decision on the final package.
Her argument doesn't even make sense. How does extending a tax cut "borrow" money from the poor and middle class?… And if a tax rate is already in place, how is it "unprecedented"?
