Respond to Speaker Boehner’s comments reported today in The Hill 11/28/12: \”We’re not going to grow the economy if we raise tax rates on the top two rates,\” the Speaker added. \”It’ll hurt small businesses. It’ll hurt our economy. That’s why it’s not the right approach.\”
NEW JERSEY –New Jersey Small Business owners today criticized Speaker Boehner’s comments that raising taxes on the wealthiest 2% of Americans would hurt America’s economy and hurt America’s small businesses. To the contrary, 97% of small businesses would be unaffected by allowing the Bush-era tax cuts to expire for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Most of New Jersey’s small businesses would benefit from Congress doing the right thing – extending the tax cuts for the middle-class and allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for the wealthiest 2%.
