Senate Republicans Vote Down Small-Business Tax Breaks
July 14, 2012 /
The Senate broke the stride of the Obama administration’s hoped-for march toward new tax breaks for small-business owners on July 12.
In what Democrats characterized as a partisan effort, the Senate, in a 53-to-44 vote, defeated a proposed 10-percent tax break in the Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act that would have encouraged new hires. The outcome of the final vote was largely attributed to a Republican-led filibuster. The bill needed 60 votes to survive the Senate.
