House Votes to Protect American Families and Job Creators From President’s Proposed Tax Hikes
McConnell: House rejects ‘President’s call for new tax hikes in a slow economy’
August 1, 2012
Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Wednesday after a bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives voted to prevent a massive tax hike on American families and job creators:
“A bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives stood up for small businesses and their hardworking employees today, rejecting the President’s call for new tax hikes in a slow economy. The Republican House has now acted to prevent a massive tax hike and the President’s defense cuts that would be so devastating to our national security. It’s time for Senate Democrats and the President to work with Republicans to solve these problems, rather than telling these hardworking Americans they’re not responsible for their own success while holding political show votes and ignoring the issue altogether.”
