Do Your Part To Save U.S. Jobs!

As you all know, I am usually not involved in political affairs to this extent. I am very passionate about the current events that have recently taken place with the Senate.  

When business owners are regulated through taxes job creation suffers; and with that so is the opportunity for you to create the life that you dream about.  

Government created jobs adds no real value to stimulating the economy and drains each of our wallets through more taxes to support these jobs. We need to create free jobs through growth and not fund made up jobs to support debt positions. Let’s create real jobs and real opportunity.

Please fill out the form below. Let’s stand up for your rights. Just three minutes of your time can make a real difference.

Don’t forget to share, time is of the essence

God Bless.,

We suffered a huge setback in the fight for freedom when the president
signed the Democrats' massive health care takeover bill into law.  But we
don't have time to rest, because the Senate is poised, perhaps as soon as
tomorrow, to add a chaser to that bill that will make things much, much
worse.  The so-called reconciliation bill is so bad that in any other year,
it would be the worst bill of the year.  I know we're all tired, but we
can't let the Senate get away with passing this bill without a public
uproar.

This is how bad the Reconciliation Act of 2010 is.  It includes:

1. A disastrous tax hike on capital gains and dividends. That’s the most
anti-growth tax hike possible. The Reconciliation Act creates a new
3.8-percent Medicare tax on single filers over $200,000 and married filers
over $250,000. The rich? Not quite. This slams business owners and makes it
harder for them to raise capital for needed equipment purchases, expansion,
and job creation. And there is no inflation indexing, so it will directly
hit more and more taxpayers over time.

2. An increase in the health care penalty tax on employers from $750 per
uncovered employee to $2,000.

3. A total takeover of the student loan industry, putting tens of thousands
out of work in the private sector while building up a big new student loan
bureaucracy.

4. A "fix" to the Cadillac tax that actually makes it worse, not better.
Under current law the exemption amount is indexed to CPI plus 1 percent.
That is not enough to keep up with medical costs. The reconciliation bill
delays the start of the tax by five years, from 2013 to 2018, but it cuts
the inflation adjustment to plain CPI. The lower inflation adjustment means
that once the tax starts it will hit more people faster.

5. A Nebraska "fix" (the only one of the infamous and corrupt deals Obama
signed into law yesterday that’s actually revisited in the reconciliation)
that is actually a much worse deal for taxpayers. Nebraska no longer gets
special treatment, but the new Medicaid funding formula puts federal
taxpayers on the hook for 90 percent of the cost of expansion for all
states, with special funding increases for 17 states and the District of
Columbia. This is welfare reform in reverse; we should be building on the
AFDC block-grant model of state control and innovation that worked so well
in the 1990s, not federalizing Medicaid.

We lost the first round of the health care fight, which was tragic.  But we
can't sit by shell-shocked while the Senate follows it up with this
disastrous tax-hiking reconciliation bill.

Thanks for all you do,
Phil Kerpen
Vice President, Policy

clear as possible that we are paying attention and know just how bad this
bill is.
