The President delivered a great speech today on the economy and tax relief.
From GOP.com
Government does not create wealth. American and businesses and workers and
farmers and entrepreneurs create the wealth for this country. And so the role of the
government is to create an environment where the small businesses can grow into a
big business, where the entrepreneur can flourish, where people who dream about owning
a home are able to own a home. In our economy, our most precious resource is
the talent of the American worker — and there is no limit to what we can do when
people have the freedom to make a better life for themselves and their family.Ours is a confident and optimistic nation — and our trust in the American people
has brought us through some pretty tough times. In the past five years, our
economy has endured a stock market collapse, a recession, terrorist attacks, corporate
scandals, high energy costs, and devastating natural disasters. These were all
shocks to our economy, which I felt required decisive action. I believe that
economy grows when people are allowed to keep more of their own money, to be able
to save and to spend.And so I called on the United States Congress to let the people keep more of their
own money, to cut their taxes, and Congress responded. We lowered your taxes
and gave you an opportunity to keep more of what you earn — and let you decide the
best way to spend your own money. We cut taxes on families by lowering the tax
rates, and by doubling the child credit, and reducing the marriage penalty.
I felt we shouldn’t penalize marriage; I thought we ought to reward marriage in the
tax code.
I certainly hope he keeps this up. The President has plenty to brag about and should
continue to do so. He should also continue calling democrats on the carpet for
all of the lies and untruths.
