Vice President Joe Biden told a Wisconsin crowd that Republicans voted to give a $500 trillion tax cut to the wealthiest Americans.

“They voted to extend tax cuts for the very wealthy, giving  $500 trillion tax cut to 120,000 families,” Biden said today, emphasizing every syllable of  “$500 trillion.” Biden was apparently referring to the Republican effort to extend the Bush tax cuts for all income levels.
