McCarthy: Americans Want All Tax Cuts Renewed
Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 10:38AMBy Kyle LaFleur
Incoming House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and other House Republicans rallied for a total extension of the Bush era tax cuts on Tuesday minutes before President Obama met with Democrat and GOP leaders at the White House.
“This election was about jobs and spending,” said McCarthy.
McCarthy went on to add that in the 754 months since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began recording unemployment statistics that only 50 of these months held umployment above eight percent, with 21 of these months falling under the current administration.
“The difficulty we have is, this is the wrong time to raise taxes on small business,” said McCarthy. “This is the time to end uncertainty and this is the time to think anew and get this country working again.”
With little over a month until the January 1st deadline for the cuts, the issue still remains up in the air.
