Johnson Comments on Senate Tax Vote - Press Releases - Newsroom - Ron Johnson, United States Senator for Wisconsin: "Their class warfare tax hike would only raise enough revenue to fund the government for 6 days, but it would come at the very real expense of job creators.

“Small businesses in America – our economic and job creation engine – are struggling. Yet Democrats want to raise taxes on nearly one million of them just to serve an election strategy.  Raising taxes on small business will not help the 23 million Americans who are unemployed or underemployed, or who have lost hope and dropped out of the labor force.

"The damage doesn't end there.  In the same bill, Democrats also passed a dramatic increase in the Death Tax that would prevent many family farms and small businesses from being passed on to future generations.  "
