Cassidy Statement on Payroll Tax Credit Extension

Statement

Date: Dec. 23, 2011
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Taxes

Today, Congressman Bill Cassidy, M.D., released the following statement regarding recent Congressional actions to extend the current payroll tax credit for two months.

"Although I agree with tax relief for the middle class, I disagree with the way the Senate paid for this relief and the two-month duration of the bill. Speaker Boehner decided the Senate version was acceptable once the Senate decreased the accounting burden on small business owners. I am pleased this burden was decreased but I still oppose the means of paying and the short duration."
