In the House: "No" or "Leaning No" = 223, per the Washington Post

"A majority of House members are now on the record as either against or leaning against authorizing President Obama to use military force against Syria," according to the latest Washington Post whip count. "As of Friday afternoon, there were 223 members in the 'no' or 'leaning no' category, more than the 217 that would be needed to sink the resolution."

we, the people, want 100% tax rates on all profits from any war. Take the incentive away and see how "popular" it is then.
