I wonder how John Carney will vote on this?

Brian Beutler July 30, 2012, 2:56 PM 1667 House Democrats will put Republicans on record this week voting down an extension of the middle-income Bush tax cuts unless the tax cuts that benefit the wealthiest Americans are also extended.

On Monday, Ways and Means Committee ranking member Sander Levin (D-MI) will introduce legislation mirroring a bill Senate Democrats passed last week to extend the Bush tax cuts up to a family’s first $250,000 in income.

“We should take it up, we’re going introduce it, it should pass,” Levin told reporters on a conference call. “This issue of holding hostage middle class tax cuts for those with income over a million essentially is the first order of business in my judgment that has to be addressed and resolved. … [T]here’s a hammerlock and we need to break it, and there’s a real opportunity to do that …”

A floor vote is expected Thursday.
