This

is a proposal to address the unending amount of bailouts that seem to be

plaguing our country right now. A congressman in Texas has estimated that

the taxes collected for social security and Medicare for two months equals 300

billion. He says if the Government would suspend taxes for two months,

allowing the people to decide where the money would go, and thus infuse

our entire economy with 300 billion dollars. Some would go in the bank,

some would be spent on tangible goods, some would be used to catch up on

mortgages or credit card bills, but it would stimulate the economy.

Please contact your representative to make your views known, and there is a

link at the bottom to sign a petition. It will be the only way to get our

voices heard. Here is what he said:

Convert son’s Last $350 Billion

into Tax Holiday, says U.S. Congressman

" Billions of Dollars for Taxpayers, but Not One More Penny

for Executive Bailouts "

WASHINGTON, D.C. - As millions of Americans are hoping to

maximize their holiday shopping budgets on today's Black Friday bargains, one

U.S. Congressman is fighting to prevent more outrageous spending sprees by

Washington with taxpayer dollars going to executive cronies.

With $350 billion of the $700

billion bailout still available to son pending Congressional approval, a

conservative Texas lawmaker is proposing to put that money towards a tax

holiday from both personal income tax and FICA tax for Americans during January

and February of 2009.

He stated, " By instating

a temporary tax holiday, we could electrify the American economy and provide

overwhelming relief to taxpayers, all for less than the cost of the current

failed son-Pelosi bailout system. "

" We need to give this

money to the people who earned it. I am sick of Washington millionaires trying

to decide which of their cronies should get the next wad of taxpayer

money, " Rep. Louie

Gohmert continued. " Think about how much you would have if you didn't

have any social security or income tax withheld from your pay check, or if you

didn't have to pay those taxes for January and February! Americans could

take and invest their own money where they believe it should go - to paying

down mortgages, buying a new car, making credit card payments. The economy would

get relief where it is needed the most. Why try to decide how to prevent

foreclosures? Just give taxpayers their own money to catch up on their

payments. Those in lower income brackets who are hit the hardest by the FICA

tax would see huge money back, and then THEY could choose who should benefit

from their hard earned money. Even the self-employed and small business

owners would receive a fantastic amount of their own much-needed money, and

they will be able to invest that back into their businesses and even create the

ability to hire more people.”

Gohmert is currently preparing a

bill to declare the tax holiday for January and February of 2009 and

is also gathering support at the same time. He said, “We can save more

home mortgages, increase employment, and boost economic growth for a lower

price tag with this plan than with any centralized bureaucratic program, all by

giving the power back to the taxpayers. I am demanding that not another penny

goes to executive bailouts, but these billions of taxpayer dollars should go to

the taxpayers who earned them. "

According to American Solutions,

a conservative think tank founded by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich,

Americans pay $101.6 billion per month in personal income tax and $65.6 billion

per month in FICA tax. Under Gohmert's proposed plan, all of these

taxes would not be paid during January and February of 2009, and the

money would stay in the hands of American taxpayers - the ones who best know

where economic stimulus should be targeted. Gohmert's two month tax

holiday would stimulate the economy while costing less than the remainder of

the son-Pelosi bailout plan.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) has

also recently proposed returning all 2008 income taxes to American taxpayers as

a solution to boost the ailing economy, as he believes taxpayers, rather than

the government, should be using their hard-earned money to choose the economy's

winners and losers.
