Compounding their problem is that they are overtaxed at every turn. Indeed, this over-taxation is why we have this extravagant surplus. While some of this surplus should be used to take care of pressing problems like our education system and our crumbling highways, everyone agrees that taxpayers should also receive some consideration as well. But while Democrats and Governor Gray Davis talk about one-time tax cuts to special interest groups, Assembly Republicans believe everyone should have a share in the bounty before us. That is why Assembly Republicans have unveiled a plan aimed at providing permanent tax relief to California's working families.
Republicans believe our tax relief ideas are both compassionate and conservative.
With government reaping obscene windfall profits, it is time to lighten the burden on working families by giving back the money they have overpaid. They can use this money to help raise their children, purchase needed healthcare and commute to work. Indeed, with such a massive budget surplus, there is no excusable reason why we cannot lighten the tax burden for working Californians, especially on those who earn the least. Our economy is ever expanding, but it still leaves many by the wayside. By adopting the Assembly Republicans' compassionate tax relief plan for working families, the Legislature will help more people participate in the bounty of this economy, and California and America will be better off because of it.
