Democrats Propose a Payroll Tax Credit


The Senate has included a payroll tax credit in its jobs bill, and while some are claiming this is nothing but a political ploy- the tax break might only be used by companies already planning to hire additional workers- we have to support a tax break wherever we find one. Not everyone agrees though.

“[A] cynic might say it is an effort to bail out terrified Democrats by paying companies to hire new workers before the November elections,” writes Howard Gleckman st the blog, TaxVox. 

However, if Republicans are going to have credibility they need to support items that fit their ideology even when they may help the opposition. Are we here to safe guard the nation, or win a political game?
