The Party of Tax Cuts?

Written By: Tim Valentine

We have a question for our Republican, Conservative and Tea Party friends, regarding their support for tax cuts. Im providing a direct link to the American Jobs Act (http:// www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/legislative/reports/american-jobs-act.pdf) as reference for these questions we, the American people who are considered Middle-Class, WorkingClass, Unemployed and Poverty stricken, request your response. For years, decades even, members and supporters of your party along with others have told those who were disadvantaged that they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Often this was spoken out of inconsideration, comprehension or experience from the perspective of the one who this is being spoken to. Some have managed, against tremendous odds, obstacles and disenfranchisements to lift themselves out of desperate situations and into manageable ones. These people are Americans who often are left with few other dependable options for assistance. If you

dare to have a conversation with, not at, but with someone in these groups who are not Republican like yourself, you gain the opportunity to learn a different perspective that leads you towards consideration. We are not as you describe us to be when youre speaking to the media or your fellow Republicans. We are not as you assume and ignore our opinions and experiences when you criticize Democrats or the President. We are Americans just like you. So why should the janitor, building attendant or administrative assistant pay more in taxes in terms of the rates and percentages than the CEO, IT Director or the delivery driver? Why should people who are economically identifiable as what economist, financial professionals and tax codes would consider Middle-Class, Working-Class, those who are Unemployed and especially our fellow Americans who are Poverty-Stricken who are often under-employed, pay more in taxes than those of you who the same economist, financial professionals and tax codes would economically identify as Upper-Class and in more common terminology, Rich or Wealthy?

The full version of the House Republicans Plan for Jobs is 10 pages. President Obamas is 199 pages. How comprehensive do you suppose both plans are in comparison in a plan for how to create jobs? We ask you these questions, because what youre doing in your campaigning, policy proposals and positions taken contradicts the best economical interests of those who support and align themselves with the ideology and principles of the Republican Party who are by all economic indicators Middle-Class, Working-Class, Unemployed or among the Working-Poor.

Is the values of your largest and frequent financial contributors more important than those who vote for you without consideration or evidence of how your policies have or will actually benefit them above your contributors? Perhaps it isnt about people, but the position, perception and power that is the motivation. When you take seriously of what the American Jobs Act is outlining and proposing that anyone who loves and respects America would agree upon, it is difficult to ignore the reasons why you oppose the bill are the true or only reasons why you oppose the bill. Youve had to of propose these issues at some point in your career or at least mentioned them. We, continue to gather and wait for your response, because this isnt about the election, but about We the People. We the People who can not continue to wait.
