Camp Statement on Tax Negotiation Agreement

December 6, 2010 - Press Releases

Ways and Means Ranking Member Dave Camp (R-MI) today made the following statement to the bipartisan agreement on tax negotiations.

“Preventing a massive, job-killing tax increase on families and small businesses is my number one priority. This framework will allow us to extend all current tax rates and give economic recovery and job creation a chance. The failure to reach and pass an agreement preventing a tax hike would have been devastating for families, especially those who are still looking for work."
