I corrected Brumar with this post with the exact text of the amendment:

Let me add: The Amendment would have spread the $87 Billion over 6 years (2005 to 2010). Rolling back the Bush tax cuts on the top 2% generates $50+ Billion per year, so less than 1/3 of the tax cuts for the wealthiest tax payers would have been rolled back!

However, the version of the final version of the bill didn't call for tax increases. And I think it was irresponsible to refuse to fund an operation when troops are in the field over a tax dispute.
