americans, quote, deserve an explanation on why republicans refuse, in his words, to step up to the plate. by the way, there were also democrats who said they wanted to see changes in this plan even though they voted for it. republicans say that we cannot afford another bail out of states. they're calling this stimulus 2.0. of course, they were against that half percent tax on millionaires to pay for it. a recent a.p. poll showed americans supported that tax by 62%. >> is there any chance republicans will give in to pressure from democrats to push this jobs bill for ward? last night democratic senator barbara boxer spoke with politician nation host reverend al sharpton about whether there's any potential for that. >> i think it's the same old, same old, reverend. if they wanted to work was, they wouldn't be filibustering this mini jobs bill, which is 400,000
