What will Crying George Voinovich's legacy? A back-stabbing traitor might sum it up.
Retiring Sen. George Voinovich to oppose any extension of Bush-era tax cuts
Voinovich has bucked his party on the tax-cut issue before. He was the only Republican senator to oppose the cuts when they were first proposed in 2000. Three years later, he joined with Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) in opposing President George W. Bush's proposed $700-billion tax-cut package, eventually succeeding in bringing the price tag down to $350 billion.
Voinovich went on to say that he is doing so because there is no linkage to tax reform. His idea of tax reform would make Milton Friedman cry. We should tell Voinovich that if he wants linkage maybe he should scream from the Capitol Dome that there has to be similar cuts in spending to pay for letting tax payers keep more of their money.
Nah, we don't want to make him cry again.
