“I am most certainly not in favor of that. I would frankly make up for the lost revenue with a surtax on people making more than a million dollars a year to cover it. Let me ask the gentleman another question. I understand that there are differing views in his party, and frankly ours, as to whether an extension of the cut for middle class families should continue.

But is the majority prepared to make a commitment to the American people to at least get to vote on it, that it will let the majority work its will and either vote ``yes'' or ``no'' on avoiding this tax increase on middle class Americans?”
