I'm confused why did most Democrats vote for tax cuts extension?

House voted 367 to 45 senate 79 to 9, For almost 6 years I've heard liberals in the Democratic party say how bad these tax cuts are for the middle class. Yet the majority of them voted to keep them going. Can anyone explain this to me?

and I've also heard almost every conservative say that the democrats will raise taxes FOR SURE and there is no other option... yet, many clearly voted for the cuts? odd?

but, to answer your question, I think you're mis-quoting the democrats... people haven't been so much saying, it's bad for the middle class, but instead the cuts are geared much toward the higher classes... the middle class gets some cuts, which is good, clearly not bad, but relatively, they really aren't getting anything compared to what the upper classes are getting...

something can be both good for the middle class and good for the upper class, but in this case, it was AMAZING for the upper class and only good for the middle class... see the difference?

maybe Rangel said that, but he's a nutbar, and he's not representative of the entire democratic party...

but the final issue I will raise is also the most likely... basically, if you vote against tax cuts before an election, the Repubicans will say "they didn't want you to have tax cuts!"... which isn't exactly true, since they do want some tax cuts, but not the exact tax cuts the Republicans were proposing...
