It'll be November before a vote on a tax cut extension comes up on Capitol Hill.

Second District Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, though, says the issue cannot wait.

"We should be addressing one of the big uncertainties in our economy, both from a jobs aspect and a small business aspect and a personal aspect," the Congresswoman said.

Last week, both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate opted to put off the issue until both Houses resume their work on November 15th, more than a week after the Midterm Elections.

The tax cuts were enacted in 2001 and 2003 under President George W. Bush.

There is widespread Democratic support to keep the tax cuts for families that bring in less than $250,000 every year.  Some Republicans are pushing to extend the tax cuts for those who make more.

Congresswoman Capito says there were several different options that could have been considered.

"Why are we just adjourning and coming home and saying to the married couple or the people with children, 'No, your taxes could go up.  We just didn't have the nerve to put it out in front of the full Congress for a vote,'" she said.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 2nd.
