The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 was supposed to be a temporary measure. It utilized the budgetary surplus established under Pres William Clinton. Pres George Bush signed law which extended it through the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. Although it is named a "Jobs and Growth" act it has had the opposite effect.
During the first Obama Admin. a Tax Cut for Middle Class Incomes was made law.
We the People, agreed with your platform to allow the Tax Cut to the Wealth to expire as stated at the Democratic Convention by you Mr. President and President Clinton. Further, we ask that middle class families be protected from the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax). WE gave you a MANDATE on Nov 6, 2012, Use it to our benefit please. Thank you!
