Seventeen Senate Democrats, including Senator-Elect Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Senators Franken and Klobuchar of Minnesota, and Senator Durbin of Illinois, have written a letter to the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, calling for repeal of the 2.3% excise tax on medical devices that is part of ObamaCare. A press release from Senator Franken says, "I am concerned that we are running out of time before this job-killing tax goes into effect."
Maybe they should have thought of that before they voted for the ObamaCare law that they now want to revise.
The "job-killing tax," as Senator Franken calls it, is scheduled to go into effect January 1.
It's nice to see Democrats opposing tax increases and acknowledging that there is a connection between taxes and employment levels.
