Political Quotes

“in a weak economy it's important for us to take steps to help small businesses create jobs and provide targeted tax relief to middle class American taxpayers. Today's tax relief package will encourage investment in renewable energy and energy efficient technologies. We help small businesses by extending the R&D tax credit and the State and local sales tax deductions. Also included are extensions of three tax cuts that I introduced last year, including extending the $250 tax credit to help teachers pay for out-of-pocket expenses for classroom supplies, encouraging companies to donate computers to schools, and investing in the clean-up and development of former industrial sites, commonly referred to as brownfields. This bill cuts taxes for small businesses, promotes energy independence, and provides targeted tax relief for middle class American families. I urge my colleagues to support this tax relief package.”
