They Voted for You: Taxes

U.S. Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-1st, and Nick Rahall, D-3rd, helped pass the "Temporary Tax Relief Act of 2007."

Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, opposed the bill, but as The Associated Press explains, "Not one House Republican voted for it."

"The 216-193 vote to 'patch' the alternative minimum tax for a year sends the issue to the Senate, where its prospects are at best uncertain," the AP article said. "The White House and Republicans, protesting tax increases in the bill affecting mainly investment fund managers, maintained that it would never become law."
