Mitch gets fact-checked

FactCheck.org busts Mitch McConnell for making a false statement this past Sunday:

On CNN’s "State of the Union," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was wrong when he said that letting the Bush tax cuts expire for upper-income earners would affect "the income of 50 percent of small businesses." That’s not true. It would affect the income of only 3 percent of those with business income, according to a new report by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation.
