U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill introduces legislation today

Today U.S. Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, along with U.S. Maine Senator Susan Collins will introduce legislation to extend current payroll tax cuts for employees and reduce employer's share of the payroll tax as well. They will pay for the cuts by instead charging a two percent surtax on taxpayers earning more than $1 million a year and repealing tax breaks for five major oil companies.

It's admirable that Senator McCaskill is not only working across the aisle with another woman in order to propose this legislation, but that she's doing the right thing at the right time for what the needs are of the people in our country. The investment will be spent on improving highways, bridges, and job- creating transportation projects. It will also prevent a tax hike that would effect 160 million people and raise taxes on the average family over $1,000 annually starting in January.
