Jim Webb voted against Sanders bill (none / 0)

As did Jon Tester and 8 other Democrats. The rest of the Democrats voted for it. Sanders bill would have rescinded the tax cuts for the top 1% and used the money to pay for several good causes.

I would really like to hear why two candidates who ran on an economic populist platform would vote the complete opposite of that platform.

Webb is a conservative so I figured he would vote neocon on social issues, but I did expect him to be populist on his economic votes. So far, big disappointment.

Tester is the more shocking of the two, being a small businessman and organic farmer. Don't know if it was the property tax issue or what--but I will be watching both very closely.
