to be action on the tax cuts to make permanent those tax cuts for the middle class, raise them on high-income earners. they've put that off until at least after the election. the question is, where's the tax cut for the middle class? did democrats just decide that raising taxes on anybody was so unpopular they didn't want to do it before an election? >> well, no, the issue about the election is this. the republicans are filibustering in the senate. everyone agrees democrats and republicans that middle class and small businesses should get tax cuts. everybody agrees that. but republicans in the senate said look, we're holding that bill hostage. we're going to block it from even coming up from a vote unless the tax cuts are made permanent for the wealthiest, which would double the size of deficit projections over the next two months. because the senate rules and procedure, if the republicans want to stand lock step against immediate tax relief to the middle class, they can block it. but we're going to make that an issue between now and november. >> of course they're going to say it's not that they want to block it, they want to add it to everybody.
