Quotations
"To say, 'here are tax breaks for hiring a new person' at the same time as saying 'you're going to have huge tax increases at the end of the year,' doesn't make sense," Dan Danner, president of the National Federation of Independent Business, told The Washington Times. "A hit-and-miss tax break on hiring more employees or increasing salaries would be incredibly small compared to the boatload of tax increases looming. A small-business owner won't hire a person he doesn't need if his business doesn't justify it, to get a tax credit."
"You don't hire somebody because you get some tax credit. That's just ridiculous," said Dan Danner, president of the National Federation of Independent Business, to The Washington Times. "At the end of the day, the obligations that you take on when you hire someone - their salary, payroll taxes and the cost of benefits - are all enormous compared to any tax credit."
