Some Democrats want to let the high-income Bush tax cuts expire, some don’t, and yet a third category thinks touching tax rates right before an election is positively nuts.
Put Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) in the latter category.
“In my opinion, I don’t know who takes a tax vote, in their right mind, just before an election,” she told reporters yesterday.
If Chuck Schumer’s reaction earlier today is any indication, she’s not alone.
