Issue #1 High Government Taxes Hurt the Economy

I think that this is a major issue. This is because many people are struggling from taxes. If taxes were cut, it would improve the economy by giving the people more spending power and higher consumer confidence which leads to them spending more of their income which then leads to more jobs, more business investment in more efficient technologies, and ultimately higher GDP(Gross Domestic Product) growth. When people can't pay taxes, they put them off for a while and the economy loses money.

Issue #2 One of the Best Ways to Help the Poor is to Set Policies that Help Businesses Earn a Profit and Create New Jobs

This would help because then the poor can get jobs and support their families. The jobs will be created because the business will have more money and have enough to pay for more employees. It is a win-win situation; the poor gets employed, and businesses succeed.

Issue #3 Only People Who Cannot Work Should be Eligible for Welfare Programs

I don't think that just anyone should be able to get welfare because it is not fair for the people who work hard and earn it. Some people throw their money away and shouldn't just get it for free. However, people who are not able to work due to handy-cap problems or something along those lines should be able to get welfare because it is not their fault.

Information about my bill: Where Did the Money Go? Bill Number: HB81

Our bill is going to propose a plan that we have a flat rate tax percentage for everyone. This we feel is more fair then the higher payed getting taxed at outrageous porportions. So we would like to propose a plan that everyone has a flat rate of 20% to federal income taxes. Also, people who make more per year and have to pay over $ 50,000 a year to the federal governement, the first $50,000 will go straight to the government and the remaining money left, you get to choose which governement funds it goes to. The choices you will have to support are education, NASA (space programming), parks and recreational, American red cross, national defence, medical reasearch, charitable funds, nursing homes, economic resource centers (recycling centers), and welfare programs. So those who pay more money will start to get more of a choice and decide what they want to do with their money. We feel that this makes citizens more in control of their money, they know where their income is going and get to keep more of their proceeds.
