“I want to conclude with some other points real quickly, that is, that the President's jobs and economic growth plan is designed to strengthen the economy by allowing Americans to keep more of their own money to spend, save, and invest by creating jobs. The President's plan to cut taxes and hold the line on government spending would grow the economy and ultimately reduce the deficit as stronger economic growth and job creation causes revenues to rise to meet the restrained level of spending. At this time, too, I would like to, as we are concluding, indicate the various groups that are supportive of the bill tomorrow, H.R. 2. In fact, I would like to read a letter which was sent by the Tax Relief Coalition. There are hundreds and hundreds of organizations, in fact there are over 1,000, that are supporting the Jobs and Growth Tax Act of 2003. This is a letter again sent by the Tax Relief Coalition: ``On behalf of the more than 1,000 organizations and 1.8 million businesses of the Tax Relief Coalition, we urge you as a member of Congress to support the full elimination of the double taxation of dividends, the increase in the small business expensing allowance, and the acceleration of all the scheduled income tax rate reductions when the Committee on Ways and Means considers the economic growth reconciliation legislation.”
