Democrat North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan is opposing a tax cut plan that has won overwhelming support from her colleagues.
Hagan announced Monday that she would not vote in favor of a bill that would give tax cuts to people making over $1 million a year and add $858 billion to the national debt. She says Democrats and Republicans need to stop making empty promises about bringing down the deficit.
President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans had agreed to the bill, extending the tax cuts for every wage earner and extending jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed.
Monday's vote pushes the measure past a procedural hurdle ahead of an expected vote on the bill in the next day or two.
Republican North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr is supporting the measure.

dataman, you sound like a person who thinks the naacp is right about everything. the black pathers are just mis understood black BOYS, and jesse jackson is your hero. I doubt you were raised in the south, you Might habe worked the fields but you were driving the tractor. you are wasting your time and mine. just leave you racist s.o.b.
Tim, if you think about it, the whole government run as is, is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme. Think about the debt...To clarify the comment about companies investing in the US...the EPA should explain that to us. They have regulated industry to the point, its better to go overseas into a communist country than to build here. Even Dupont has a facility in Texas that it was cheaper to close than to run daily due to fines by the EPA. You need to thank a tree hugger, driving a subaru with an Obama bumper sticker....
TO Posted by: To Data Man Location: Greenville on Dec 15, 2010 at 09:26 AM, if you are from Halifax county then you should know first hand on how blacks are treated in those small comunities! You are sicker than I thought! You might came up poor but I bet you stayed on your parents land! I bet you grand parents had their own land!? I bet 90% of of your friends in Halifax county had to work on a farm just to keep their house! Yes you worked and paid for college but guess what!? you were able to get a job! How many of your classmates could get a job other than the fields!? I have worked in the fields before! But never for a white man because I didnt have too! But guess what!? My grandmother was white and native American! GOD made this all happen but this gave my family a huge start! So dont tell me that color does not matter! Wake up!
