‘Raising taxes during times like these is exactly the wrong approach’
Washington, D.C.— U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Tuesday regarding the Democrats’ latest efforts to raise taxes on working Americans and job creators:
“Once again, our Democrat friends never miss an opportunity to sock Americans with a new tax hike. Their latest bill would permanently raise new taxes to temporarily extend expiring or recently expired tax relief to others. Raising taxes during times like these is exactly the wrong approach. A better idea is to work together to support extending the expiring tax relief as well as provide much needed relief from the middle class tax grab known as the AMT, which our bill does.”
