That is similar in every district, Republican or Democrat, across the Nation. The number of small businesses may vary district to district, but the point is that every small business has an opportunity to reduce by more than one-third the…
Well, I will do my best, and along the way, if my colleagues would join in on any one of these issues, I'd appreciate it. Health care reform means security and stability for America's seniors. First of all, despite all the rhetoric on the…
In Tennessee, the property tax base. In California, the general tax base and the Federal Government. Here is the clincher: every health insurance policy in the Nation pays for the uninsured. So we have health care coverage. In fact, this…
