House Republicans Reject Obama’s Jobs Proposal; Finally Meet A Tax Cut They Don’t Like
The GOP leaders say such a temporary reduction means taxes will go up later when the reduction expires in 2013.
“While employees would see an additional temporary benefit from this proposal in 2012,” they wrote, “they would experience a larger effective tax increase 12 months later when the payroll tax reverted back to its full level.
“There may be significant unforeseen downsides to large temporary tax cuts immediately followed by large tax increases,” they added.
Using that logic, they should never have approved the sunsetted Bush tax cuts which were built to expire.
