Luetkemeyer Votes to Support Tax Relief for Hard-Working Small Business Owners

Statement

Following is a statement from U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-9) on his vote against legislation that failed to extend tax cuts for hard-working small business owners, who create jobs and promote economic expansion in Missouri:

"Today is a disappointing day for our job-creating small business owners, who are greatly affected by the job-killing tax increases that Democrats support, which will take effect in less than a month. Today's job-destroying vote will continue to subject our small businesses to damaging tax hikes, which will only perpetuate the ongoing uncertainty that small business folks have been dealing with for months. My pledge to the people of the 9th District was to oppose all tax increases and to cut spending during these tough economic times. Despite today's disappointing turn of events, I will continue to work on behalf of hard-working families and small business owners who are tired of the government picking their pockets to finance a reckless spending binge."
