The American Option: A Jobs Plan That Works

exerpts:

This bill is not a stimulus, ladies and gentlemen; it is a mugging. It is a fraud. Conservatives who fear proponents of this bill want to inch our economy closer to European-style socialism are kidding themselves. The proponents of this bill want to strap a big rocket on the back of our economy and launch it all the way to Brussels!

This massive spending bill is fatally flawed. It will not rescue our economy; it will strangle it. That is why this bill must be stopped dead in its tracks. It cannot be fixed in the Senate by adding a few tax cuts or taking away a little spending. It must be scrapped entirely.

Fortunately, there is another way. A better way. A way that will actually stimulate the economy, spur investment, and create jobs. A way that will permanently keep billions of dollars--immediately--in the private sector: in the hands of Americans who buy goods, provide services, start businesses, and hire employees.

Call it "The American Option." It is not innovative or particularly clever. In fact, it's only 11 pages. But it will work. And it is based on proven American principles of freedom and the opportunity to succeed. The plan--developed by scholars J. D. Foster and William Beach here at The Heritage Foundation--is the best anyone has proposed since the recession first took hold. I have adopted the plan and will offer it on the Senate floor next week as a substitute.

The idea is simple: first, make the temporary tax cuts of 2001 and 2003--now set to expire in 2011--permanent. Short-term tax relief, of the sort envisioned by the Democrats' plan does not stimulate economic growth.

To further simplify and improve the code, our plan would also:

  • permanently repeal the alternative minimum tax once and for all;
  • permanently maintain the capital gains and dividends taxes at 15 percent;
  • permanently kill the Death Tax for estates under $5 million, and cut the tax rate to 15 percent for those above;
  • permanently extend the $1,000-per-child tax credit;
  • permanently repeal the marriage tax penalty;
  • permanently limit itemized deductions to home mortgage interest and charitable contributions.
The Heritage Center for Data Analysis widely respected economic forecasting model projects this plan would create nearly 500,000 jobs this year, 1.3 million next year, 7.5 million by 2013, and a total of nearly 18 million jobs over the next decade.

So basically help the rich while throwing crumbles to the poor. Hooray!

Sorry Republicans, get a plan from someone who isn't a complete fucktard and maybe I'll begin to even respect the person who is offering the plan and give it merit.

Oh, and don't forget; Single mothers can't teach either according to Jimmy.

And remember, due to certain diseases; Jimmy is opposed to Gay Marriage. (In other words, buddy boy still thinks AIDS is a gay disease).

And don't forget! Jimmy boy is also against all forms of abortion! So if you get raped, your life is in danger, etc..According to Jimmy, go fuck yourself!

I don't respect a man who tries to take one of the good jobs away from single mothers, is a raging homophobe and doesn't even want them to teach,etc.

I'm willing to bet when it came to the 2nd amendment, he'd defend that faster then flies on food but god forbid we have people who love people of their same gender teaching in the classrooms. So much for civil liberties. More like Civil "When we want them to be" Liberties.

Besides, his plan is fucking stupid.
 
Libtards don't pay any taxes....they just whine about gays....I'd like to see a rational response....haha that'll be the day...

I wasn't talking about his plan dimbulb.. I was talking about the Democrats plan,, their goal is "fiscal equality."
 
Libtards don't pay any taxes....they just whine about gays....I'd like to see a rational response....haha that'll be the day...

And this is why I currently have little respect for the current Republican party. It breeds stupidity from people like you.

so it would seem, not until they are caught at least,, and then none of them paid late fines or fees!

I don't like the Rep. party all that much myself. What has that got to do with DeMint's proposal?

Well for starters, he has been voted the most Conservative member of the current Rep. Party you don't like yourself for the past two years.
 
so Wrangel and Daschle and Geithner all paid their taxes? or not? :cuckoo::cuckoo::eusa_liar:

Yes, they have.

better late than never huh? and then they get rewarded for tax evasion, Al Capone went to prison. See how corrupt you assholes are?

Course you don't know the difference between an accident and tax evasion. YOU WANT IT to be tax evasion so you can make a smug comment, but sorry you're wrong. Though I love you act like no Republicans ever dare commit such a crime. :lol:

Didnt' Senator DeMint vote for almost 100% of everything Bush wanted? Didn't Demint defend Bush for eight years? Is there anytime in the last 8 years prior to the 08 election when Demint went on TV or out in public to tell us Bush was fucking up?

No?

Then who the fuck would take his advice now? The fucker's been wrong about everything
 
somebody out there is listening. The obamalama plan is losing favor fast.
