DEMINT: Washington doesn't deserve a raise - Washington Times

Specifically, I offered an amendment on June 23 to extend the current tax rate on capital gains and dividends. The Democrats voted it down 57-40, opting to raise taxes on seniors and investors who pay those taxes. On July 21, I offered an amendment to repeal the death tax. The Democrats voted it down 59-39, choosing to let the government confiscate up to 55 percent of a person's assets upon death. On Aug. 5, I offered two amendments. The first would have stopped all of the January tax increases on personal income. The Democrats voted it down 58-42. My second amendment would have blocked tax increases on small businesses that file as individuals. Again, the Democrats voted it down, 58-42.

Don't say they are both the same.
