Scott Brown’s first act in the Senate: $80 billion Tax Cut for Jobs

Giving a portion of the Stimulus funds back to the American Taxpayer

From Eric Dondero:

This is Senator Scott Brown's first address to the United States Senate. (And at first he seems a little overtaken and even a bit nervous).

According to NewsMax:

The Immediate Tax Relief for America's Workers Act targets mostly working class Americans, those employees making up to about $200,000, with a temporary tax cut that would, according to data released from Brown's office, save the average worker "about $100 a month for a total of at least $500 for individuals and $1,000 for working couples," Fox News reported.

Highlights (for those unable to watch the full-length 10 minute video):

* The government is spending stimulus funds on projects that in my opinion do not provide enough private sector jobs

* Tax relief for working families is not complicated economic policy... And leaders on both sides of the aisle from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan have often called for across the board tax cuts to put money immediately in people's pockets to help stimulate the economy...

* This tax cut is already paid for, would not increase the deficit and would be implemented within 60 days.

* We've tried a whole host of other things, targetted tax breaks, a little bit here, a little bit there. Why don't we give it back to the American people and see what they can do with their $1,000, and see what they can do to stimulate the economy.
