Which Senators Still Won't Tax The Rich?

In a vote to help fund teachers and first responders (shocker) all the Republicans voted "NO";

So did a few Democrats;
Joe LIEberman, is not running for re-election, so why would he want to tax rich people?  He is one..

Ben Nelson from Nebraska, just wants the economy to fail, and must not like having a black President.

Mark Pryor of Arkansas must have had a bad lunch, or maybe he doesn't like a black President either?

So, Who Voted For Those Bank Bailouts??

The House keeps records; http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2008/roll681.xml

Some notables are John Bo[eh]ner, Pete Hoekstra and Frank Wolf. Ninety one Republicans supported this in the House.

In the Senate, it went like this: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=2&vote=00213

Here we see Dole, Ensign, Lindsay Graham (OMG), Kyl, Lugar, McCain, McConnell, Shelbey, Vitter and may more commit "Generational Theft".

I am fairly sure I have heard each of these guys harp about the US bailing out banks, but they all voted for it. It was signed by George Bush in late 2008.
