The current debate about the payroll tax cut shows Nan Hayworth's true colors: she supports tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires but opposes tax cuts for 160 million middle income American families. And Republicans are threatening to go home until next year without acting on this payroll tax cut extension. It’s time for Nan Hayworth to stop playing the game of telling voters one thing and then doing another.

The Rich Becker for Congress campaign has started a petition to urge Hayworth to support the payroll tax cut extension. Please join me and sign the petition.

Sign the petition now.

The payroll tax cut is a tax cut that puts an average of $1,000 into the paychecks of working families in America. Many Americans are still struggling from the Great Recession, and there are not enough good jobs in our area for our neighbors and relatives. It is also estimated that there will be 400,000 to a million additional jobs lost if this tax cut is not extended, as employers will be required to match the payroll tax amount. Thus, failure to act will be a further job killer. 

Sign the petition urging Ms. Hayworth to vote to extend the payroll tax cut.
