For the last few years, the middle class has been repeatedly squeezed by failed “stimulus” plans fed with debt and higher taxes. And now liberals are at it again, demanding permanent tax increases to pay for temporary attempts at “stimulus.” Placing an even greater burden on families, small businesses, and future generations is no way to get our economy back on track.
Temporary tax changes are no match for permanent tax relief that gives families and businesses the confidence to make big decisions on purchases, investments, and job creation. That’s why the RSC’s Jobs Through Growth Act lets families and small businesses throw out the current tax code for a system that’s simpler, flatter, and fairer.
House Republicans have already passed more than 20 jobs bills that are just sitting in the Senate, waiting for Democrats to wake up. President Obama keeps repeating that “We Can’t Wait,” and I agree. But instead of going down the same road that has failed to get millions of Americans back to work the last few years, let’s try something new – something better – something that can actually succeed.
God Bless,

1st paragraph is factually incorrect in several locations.
ReplyDelete1) the middle class has been repeatedly squeezed by failed “stimulus” plans
-CBO numbers say the stimulus had a net positive effect on job growth
- stimulus helped bring the avg. taxpayers bill to historical lows
2) demanding permanent tax increases to pay for temporary attempts at “stimulus
- all the mainstream ideas thrown out point to higher taxes on the top two brackets which means the vast majority of "...families, small businesses, and future generations" wouldn't be touched.
While I agree with some of what republicans have been saying, you shouldn't have to fudge the facts to prove your point.
Speaking of Trump...he & Kiyosaki co-authored a book called "Why We Want You To Be Rich" back in 2006 where they rightfully predicted that the middle-class in the U.S. would be gradually be squeezed out in the near future.
ReplyDeleteThey explained it with a good illustration using the an hourglass as an example. The large upper chamber of the hourglass represented our country's wealthy people, the large lower chamber represented the poor people while the teensy-weensy neck portion of the hourglass represented our diminishing middle-class citizens.
