Hatch: White House Choosing Wall Street, Large Fortune 500 Companies Over Small Businesses
Utah Senator Says, “What kind of message does this send to every mom and pop business across America that the White House is fine with giving corporations a tax cut, while jacking up taxes on the little guys who are the engine of America’s economy?”
U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, slammed the White House for siding with big businesses over the small businesses that are America’s top job creators. It was reported that the latest so-called “offer” by the White House yesterday to House Speaker John Boehner on the Fiscal Cliff included not only the insistence that the top two marginal tax rates shoot up to levels not seen in over a decade – hitting nearly a million businesses, most of them small business - but also an offer on corporate tax reform. This comes on top of a call by a group of CEOs of major corporations who have also advocated for these same small business tax hikes in exchange for lower taxes on corporations.

Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) outlined how the President’s small business tax hike plan will cripple job creators and hinder their ability to invest, grow, and hire new workers in a speech on the Senate floor today.
