Bring back earmarks to encourage compromise within congress

Ending the emphasis in Congress on deficit reduction rather than the merits of policy proposals to create full employment, Medicare for all, & rebuilding education, US infrastructure, & energy foundations.

Please sign to repeal any sort of mileage tax, which Would include a mandatory installation of a GPS to track you. This not only is a violation of privacy, but would jeopardize business. The cost of course would be passed on to the consumer. We do not need more taxes. The Government needs to clean up its waste.

Many first time home buyers who purchased their homes in 2008 applied for a tax credit of $7500. This credit is to be repaid over 15 years at $500 per year with no interest. However, the following year the tax credit was raised to $8000 and there is NO repayment required for this credit. This is unfair to those who purchased their home a year before. I have been repaying my loan over the last couple of years through my taxes and during these difficult economic times, it has been tough knowing your refund will be less $500 a year for many more years to come. Those homeowners who purchased their homes in 2008 should be afforded the same benefit as the homeowners who enjoyed the $8000 first time home buyer credit and they should be forgiven the amount of the credit for the remaining years of the repayment term. In a fragile economy, many homeowners can use the extra $500 every year to offset the increasing costs of living. Those who received the $7500 credit should be forgiven from having to repay those funds just as those who claimed the $8000 credit a year later. It is not fair to punish those homeowners who purchased a year earlier by making them repay a loan that many others received (and $500 more) and do not have to repay every year.

The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) should not paying foreign manufactures to provide american athletes with apparel, especially uniforms. Our Government needs to put measures in place that guarantee that all of Team USA's Olympic apparel is Made in the USA.

Increase the taxes.

With Democrats and Republicans in Congress voting on ending or extending what are referred to as the Bush Tax Cuts for very rich individuals, I think it's fair to ask Presidential candidate Mitt Romney to show us his tax records for the past ten years.

The tradition used to be that candidates gave out general information on their income and financial assets via a statement. That all changed in 1967 when George Romney released his actual tax returns for the previous 12 years. “One year could be a fluke, perhaps done for show,” the elder Romney said then. His son, the presumptive Republican nominee in 2012, prefers to show almost nothing. Mitt Romney has only released his tax returns for 2010 and an estimate for 2011. That’s not good enough.

Governor Chrisite of New Jersey closing State Developmental Facilities. Thousands of employees will be displaced in jobs paying less.

This bill puts in place the same tenets that Romney espouses which would cut taxes for the rich, increase taxes to the poor. It also cuts out all the credits that lower-income individuals and small businesses enjoy.
