Urge NJ House Members to Reject House GOP Proposal in Vote Next Week

Highland Park, NJ – State public interest advocates gathered on a teleconference today to laud the US Senate for voting to end the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2% of Americans. Yesterday, the US Senate passed the Middle Class Tax Cut Act (S 3412), which would extend the Bush-era tax cuts for the 98% of Americans who make less than $250,000 in household income, and end the Bush tax breaks above that level, by a 51 to 48 vote.
