Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012

Dec. 13, 2011 | H.R. 3630
The bill extended the 4.2% employee payroll tax rate through 2012, but the Republican legislation offset the cost with drastic benefit reductions for jobless workers, pay cuts for public employees, reduced premium assistance for low and middle-income individuals buying health insurance, cutbacks in preventive health services and higher premiums for many Medicare beneficiaries. The bill was approved.

This is Bad for working people.
