Dear Senators Warner and Allen and Representative Moran:
As you know, in his State of the Union address this year, President Bush renewed calls to make the tax cuts of the first three years of his presidency permanent. Without Congressional action, the tax cuts will begin to expire this year. I am writing today to call upon you to support the President and pass legislation making the tax cuts permanent.
Unless the House and Senate move legislation America will be faced with one of the largest tax increases in the history of the United States, affecting nearly everyone. Marginal tax rates would go up for everyone that pays taxes. The Death Tax will come back from the grave, and the child tax credit will shrink to half of its present size. Tax credits for employer provided childcare and adoption will be finished, and business expensing tax cuts will go away. Capital gains taxes will shoot back up.
In total, America will be faced with a tax increase of roughly $2 trillion!!
Please don’t let this happen. Make the tax cuts permanent!
Sincerely,
James Landrith
