Senate GOP kills small-business tax cut bill

“…small business owners would get a new tax incentive to hire new workers and/or increase payroll wages, on top of a break businesses claim on capital investments. An independent firm that specializes in economic modeling concluded that the Democratic proposal could create nearly 1 million jobs

A majority of the Senate supported the measure, but the modern Senate no longer operates by majority rule. Democrats couldn’t break a Republican filibuster so the bill is dead.

Republicans said they felt the need to kill the legislation because Reid denied them the chance to water it down with a series of amendments.

And since procedural concerns are obviously more important than lowering unemployment, the GOP argument doesn’t seem to surprise anyone
