85 House Republicans, I shall remind you again, voted for the AIG/CYA confiscatory bonus tax.
Some of them have learned their lesson, but not all.
Today, 10 Republicans joined the Grabby Hands Democrats in passing the new
“Pay for Performance Act” — to curb “
excessive” employee pay at financial firms that receive government bailout funds, “a measure that could supplant [the] earlier effort to heavily tax executive bonuses.” The bill passed 247-171.
Here are the 10 House Republicans who think it is government’s job to determine what “excessive” pay is in every workplace except their own (full roll call vote

Bilirakis
Brown-Waite, Ginny
Cao
Diaz-Balart, L.
Diaz-Balart, M.
Duncan
Jones
McHugh
Rohrabacher
Ros-Lehtinen
At least this bonus-taxing bunch of appalling GOP turncoats is consistent in supporting radical government meddling.
Oh, and look who voted “present:”
Cantor
!!!!
