House votes overwhlmingly in favor of taxing those nasty bonuses

The vote was 328 - 93 in favor of imposing a 90% tax on bonuses given out by firms that received more than $5 billion in government bailout funds.
In a sign of the times, 85 Republicans voted in favor, following Minority Whip Eric Cantor, who was in favor.
The Senate is scheduled to vote on this next week.
