Cantor: Congress doesn't need to 'tax anybody' to pay for payroll break

By Pete Kasperowicz - 02/09/12 01:28 PM ET

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) indicated Thursday morning that Republicans would reject any tax hike as a way to pay for a full-year extension of the payroll tax holiday.

"[W]e as Republicans in this House do not support taxes going up on anybody. We don't believe you ought to tax anybody," he said on the floor.
