SandBox Comments: Scott Tipton "Tipton Stands Up For Hardworking American Taxpayers and Seniors"

Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Colorado):

"WASHINGTON, D.C. —Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO) issued this statement today, following bipartisan passage of the Conference Report on H.R. 3630, extending the payroll tax credit and unemployment insurance—with reforms—through the end of the year, and providing a fix to the Medicare reimbursement formula for doctors treating seniors.

“Today I voted to extend the payroll tax credit--reducing the size of government and keeping more of hardworking Americans’ paychecks in their pockets rather than in Washington coffers. Economic growth happens when the American people have the opportunity to save and invest more of their hard-earned dollars, rather than forfeiting them to feed big government in Washington.

“American workers and businesses need long-term certainty, as do our seniors and their doctors. While the goal is to find a long-term solution to the problems facing our tax code and Medicare, this bill provides Congress with needed time to work-out the complex issues with the tax code and with the Medicare formula, without disrupting the care our seniors receive, and providing continued relief for businesses and hardworking Americans.

“When it comes to choosing between supporting hardworking American taxpayers and seniors, or sending more money to the federal government, I’m on the side of hardworking Americans and seniors every time.”

"Unapologetically pursuing and tracking patterns within the news others make since 2010."
