The payroll tax cut is not "Chicken Sh--!"

The payroll tax cut is not "Chicken Sh--!"

The Issue

"Chicken sh--." That's what Speaker Boehner and House Republican Leadership think of extending the payroll tax cut and helping Americans pay their bills.

According to Politico, he actually told this to Tea Party House Republicans at a closed-door meeting.

The payroll tax cut extension would save the average American family over $1,000 a year. That's not "chicken sh--."

It's time for Republicans to show us whether they stand with the wealthiest 1% or with the rest of America.

Sign our petition today telling Boehner, Eric Cantor and the rest of the Tea Party Republicans in Congress that extending the payroll tax cut is critical to the American people and the American economy. It's definitely not "chicken sh--."
