Votes to Protect Small Businesses and Family Farmers from Higher Taxes

U.S. Congressman Sam Graves released the following statement regarding passage of H.R. 4853 -- the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010:

"I am pleased that Congress and the Administration were ultimately able to work in a bipartisan manner to protect the American people from more devastating tax increases. While I would have preferred a permanent extension for all taxpayers, this bill will help stabilize our economy and shows that Washington is finally ready to stop working against our nation's greatest job creators: small businesses. By assuring these entrepreneurs that these tax provisions won't expire in the next two years and making key changes to the estate tax, we are taking a first step toward providing the certainty they need to begin hiring new employees and expanding their businesses."
