This is a good approach for the economy and the taxpayer. Central to the Bush tax cut plan is a belief that no American should pay more than a third of his or her income to the federal government. The plan calls for lowering income tax rates across the board. Surplus estimates have grown so large that there is enough money to both pay down the national debt and provide tax relief. I support the tax relief in the Bush package and have previously voted in favor of many of the proposed provisions.
Federal taxes are the highest they have ever been during peacetime.
Americans pay more in taxes than they do in food, clothing and housing combined. You and I work more than four months of the year just to pay our tax bills.
