Speaker of the US House of Representatives, John Boehner, has pulled the Republican version of a tax bill from the floor ahead of a vote saying it did not have enough support to pass.<br/> <br />The move is a major embarassment for Boehner after 13 fellow Republicans refused to back his "Plan B" tax bill because they oppose tax hikes on even the richest Americans.<br/> <br />Boehner's bill would have limited tax increases to those who earn one million dollars or more a year, while President Obama's bill wants to raise taxes on people who earn more than four hundred thousand dollars.<br/> <br />After Boehner's bill was pulled, the White House said they will continue to work with congress to find a quick bipartisan solution.<br/> <br />Lawmakers in both houses say they will continue to debate the issue before automatic tax hikes and spending cuts kick in on January 1.
