Tax Reduction Extension

109th Congress, 1st Session

December 8, 2005

The House on December 8, 2005 passed H.R. 4297, formally titled the Tax Relief Extension Reconciliation Act. This bill extended extensive tax reductions which largely benefit wealthier persons. Democrats adamantly opposed the bill, though nine Democrats voted for it. Only three Republicans voted no. Democrats pointed out that tax reductions increased the deficit despite the November 18th vote reducing funding for programs largely benefiting less affluent person. The vote is displayed below in a table which shows median household income and poverty data by congressional district along with racial and ethnic data and 2004 election results. Election results for Reps. Doris Matsui, Jean Schmidt and John Campbell are for mid-session elections.
