The bill has passed to tax the bonuses at a rate of 90%. The final break down is:
| YEAS | NAYS | |
| DEMOCRATIC | 243 | 6 |
| REPUBLICAN | 85 | 87 |
| TOTALS | 328 | 93 |
With the exception of 6 blue dog Democrats, support on the left side of the aisle was rather unanimous, but the Republicans split 50/50. Interesting enough is the split in the Republican House Leadership. John Boehner voted against it, while Eric Cantor voted for it. I can’t wait to hear the spin on that.
