I want Congress to pass the jobs bill from last Sept.

Most of the 50% who have managed to put away some retirement savings - not counting the top 1-2% - have these savings or investments in an IRA or a 401K. Money that we draw out is then taxed at the higher ordinary income tax rate - even if it all that money was invested for the long term in the types of risky investments that otherwise are rewarded with lower capital gain tax rates.. The top 1-2% percent have most of their money (as in 95-99%) where they pay no federal income tax or the lower capital gains rate. They use municipal bonds and Real Estate for investment and pay no tax or capital gains taxes – maybe a generation later – after they avoid any income tax. Fair is fair and it’s time for a level playing field. Those over 65 – below some income level say $100,000 and $200,000 (to get a lot of upper middle but still not wealthy savers) when withdrawing money to live on should see the first 5-6% taxed at a capital gains rate - the lower rate in all cases. This is simply fair and levels the playing field - and will encourage more of us to save for retirement. It is pure capitalism - but crony capitalism rules have created a situation where the IRAs and 401Ks not really used by the 1-2-3% are marketed to the rest of us – and then we are over taxed just as we start to use the money to pay the bills when we retire. Ask Congress to pass a law that for those below some income level – the first 5% annual withdrawal from an IRA or 401K (Middle and Upper Middle America’s savings location) not be pay the higher income tax then that of the 1-2-3%. Simple enough – set the rate at the capital gains rate or half that persons or families’ income tax rate.

It's about getting the American people back to work.

I am so tired of our jobs being outsourced to other countries. I think its time we kept jobs at home in America so we can keep people employed.

We do not need any conspiracy theories to know that free trade and globalization have not evolved in any natural economic fashion but has been driven by powerful forces outside the will of the people. Who said we had to compete like this for the same jobs in a global economic arena? It is obvious, workers had no voice in the matter.

Pay Day Lending lobbyists are swarming the PA Senate trying to get HB 2191 fast-tracked and to Gov. Corbett's desk. We need to fight back now to let them know we are watching. HB 2191 would allow predatory lending (Pay Day lending) into PA with interest rates of 300% and higher. Pay Day loans hurt the people desperate enough to need them AND the rest of us by siphoning hundreds of millions of dollars out of PA's economy - money lost to exorbitant interest rates and fees.

Why wait until the economy fails and the chaos becomes World War III? We need super funds to rebuild our economy and put people back to work with cost of living and better wages. Our nartions needs to be the best and a part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

Corporate tax breaks are bleeding California dry. These loopholes are costing the state billions each year, providing no benefit to our economy. Before California makes any more cuts to schools, public safety and vital services that have already been decimated in recent years, California's corporate tax loopholes must be eliminated.

Why is congress not helping to create jobs. We the American people need to stand up and demand that congress put the American people first. Let us let congress no we will remember them for there no interest in creating jobs for the American people

Feminine hygiene products are taxed in many states. Placing a sales tax on feminine hygiene products is not fair or logical. These are not a luxury purchase. If women were unable to purchase these items at the store, they would not have an alternate non-luxury product readily at their disposal. Personally, I would not have any idea how I was supposed to deal with this monthly medical need without purchasing needed hygiene products from the store. I feel this tax is outdated ( @ 100 years outdated ) and is an unfair biased tax placed on only a portion of the population.

The President's jobs plan would put teachers, firefighters, police officers, and construction workers back to work right now. And it's paid for by asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more, but Congress refuses to act. Tell Congress we can't wait:
