Wall of Shame
That's where we put the names of House members who voted for Nancy Pelosi's silly, unconstitutional 90% tax on the AIG bonuses. The measure passed, 328-93, with Democrats frantically seeking cover against voter wrath. It's sad to see any Republicans going along with the Democrats' Know-Nothingism, but, by a bare 87-85 margin Republicans opposed the Dems' stunt. I'm glad to see that conservative stalwarts, including John Kline, John Shadegg and Michele Bachmann, generally voted "no."
Pelosi's tax will never become law; it will die quietly at some point. Its only purpose is as a cheap PR stunt to deflect public anger--mostly misplaced, in my view, to the extent that it focuses on the AIG bonuses rather than the multiple, trillion dollar disasters the Democrats have perpetrated or are planning.
