Middle Class Families Need Payroll Tax Cut Extended

Washington, DC, December 5, 2011
Rep. Wasserman Schultz met with local workers to discuss the payroll tax

Dania Beach, Fla. – At the end of this month a federal payroll tax cut for all working Americans will expire. This means more money could be taken out of the paychecks of families who desperately need it. Floridians could see their taxes go up some $1,400.

That was the topic of discussion on Monday, December 5 when Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20) met with employees at Jaxson’s Ice Cream who could benefit from having the payroll tax renewed. Paul McDowell is a single father of an autistic 8-year-old boy and works at Jaxson’s as part of the kitchen staff. Cayce Parker is a single parent with two young sons and is a waitress. They were also joined by Monroe Udell, the longtime owner of Jaxson’s.
