H.R. 8 would prevent the Administration\u2019s proposed tax hike from taking effect January 1, 2013, but extending current income tax rates for one year. The measure passed today in the United States House of Representatives by 256-171.\n\n\u201cThis legislation will put a stop to the tax hike slated to hit every individual, family and small business who pays income taxes and provide job creators with the certainty they need to hire,\u201d said Aderholt. \u201cWith over three years of high unemployment, this Administration and Senate leadership are still calling for higher taxes that will cost more than 700,000 American jobs. The bottom line is the federal government does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.\u201d\n\n\u201cRaising taxes on hard working American families and small businesses is not the answer to recovery, job creation and growth. I am proud to support the Job Protection and Recession Prevention Act and I hope my colleagues in the Senate and the White House will abandon their pursuit to raise taxes on families and small businesses and finally join House Republicans in doing what is right for the future of our economy.\u201d concluded Aderholt.\n\nKey Provisions of the Legislation\n\nPrevent a take hike from taking effect January 1, 2013;\n\nContinue marriage penalty relief;\n\nMaintain the $1,000 child credit;\n\nMaintain a 15% top rate on dividends and capital gains;\n\nMaintain the estate tax at its 2011 and 2012 parameters (indexed for inflation);\n\nProvide higher Sec. 179 small business expensing limits; and\n\nPreserve certain education-related benefits.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T21:11:30Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://aderholt.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/aderholt-votes-stop-administrations-proposed-tax-hike"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.513949129730463, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
