EXTEND PAYROLL TAX CUTS - without action by Congress by the end of the month, payroll taxes will rise for 160 million.

Created by R.K. on February 14, 2012

House lawmakers are returning to Capitol Hill to weigh a proposal to extend the 2-percentage-point cut in the payroll tax through the end of 2012. The 2-percentage-point tax cut delivers about $20 a week to a worker making $50,000 a year and a tax cut totaling $2,000 this year for someone making a $100,000 salary. If you need those $40 (per paycheck), speak out. Petition Congress to extend the payroll tax cut before it expires.
