Congress extends payroll surtax

Congress on Thursday approved a sweeping measure that, among other things, extends the life of a 0.2% employer payroll surtax that would have expired this year. NFIB and other business groups lobbied against the surtax saying it "would increase the tax burden on employers just as they are deciding whether to add employees in 2010 and 2011."
