Copyrighted Image? DMCA | Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) has declared that he's willing to vote for higher taxes, defying Grover Norquist's Taxpayer Protection Pledge and risking a primary challenge. "I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge," Chambliss said. In the last congress, a total of 238 members of the House of Representatives signed the pledge, 236 Republicans and 2 Democrats. At least 41 sitting senators also have signed it, giving them enough votes to effectively filibuster any tax increase. |
