I believe some are intrigued by the idea ... What we've been hearing over and over again is that the reason Republicans are opposed to the surtax is because of the concern of its impact on job creation. Well, if you carve out employers, you take away that argument.
I think that's the answer to this dilemma. I do not want to impose additional taxes on the employers at a time when our economy is very fragile and we want to encourage them to hire ... On the other hand, I do believe that multimillionaires and billionaires who are not running businesses could pay more ...
I have advocated that we do a carve-out for small business out of the so-called millionaires tax to make sure that it is not hitting subchapter S corporations, for example, and discouraging small employers from doing more hiring
The supercommittee's failure to reach a compromise could result in automatic cuts that don't take into account our nation's priorities and our best interests
This was so absurd ... the worst example of government overreach, Washington knows best, and an elitist approach.
