Senate Cuts Wealthy Tax Cut Rollback

Note too from the story I linked to immediately prior to this the following paragraph:

On another amendment, Senate Republicans defeated a proposal by Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., to roll back some of President Bush (news - web sites)'s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans to help pay for the Iraq war. A similar proposal by Biden was also rejected last year. The 53-44 vote was largely along party lines.
