Tea Party Patriots: 12 Days of Solutions!

12 Days of Solutions - The Penny Plan

Washington is at it again. They’re talking about ways to take more of your money to pay for Congress’ inability to actually be fiscally responsible.

Unfortunately for the establishment politicians leading our country to ruin, there exist plans that would actually do a great deal of good for the country. Over the next 12 days, Tea Party Patriots will be discussing 12 of them, and asking you to call your Congressman to ask him or her to support each plan.

The first plan is the Penny Plan. Introduced in 2011, it aims to balance the budget by 2018 by cutting one penny in non-interest federal outlays from each dollar the government spends. Rather than cut from expected spending, the Penny Plan cuts from today’s spending. It also aims to cap spending at 18% of GDP, which is at least one-quarter less than today’s spending levels.
The plan is spelled out in more detail on our website,  but you get the idea. Real cuts. Unlike the “cuts” in discussion on Capitol Hill.

Of course, we know that the establishment in Washington will take a plan as simple as this seriously. As the "fiscal cliff" looms we will see them agree to a bad deal that raises taxes and increases spending which will surely have a devastating affect on the economy, inflating prices for everyday consumers and increasing the number of people who are unemployed. So, in the unlikely event that Washington will prove us wrong, we DARE them to take up the Penny Plan and actually make real cuts in spending.

Call your Member of Congress. Let him or her know that Speaker Boehner should present the Penny Plan to President Obama instead of raising your taxes.

12 Days of Solutions - Saving the American Dream

Today, Day 3 of 12 Days of Solutions, finds Washington still fighting over how many of your hard-earned dollars you don’t deserve to keep. Unfortunately, all of the plans in discussion are woefully inadequate.

This lack of attention to quality plans is why Tea Party Patriots is proud to bring a comprehensive plan to balance the budget and enact tax reform to your attention. That plan is the Heritage Foundation’s “Saving the American Dream” budget proposal.

How will this plan save the American Dream? Unlike the proposals being bandied about in Congress, it will:

1. Enact legitimate tax reform.
2. Make Medicare and Social Security solvent for generations.
3. Eliminate much of the unconstitutional non-defense discretionary spending in subsidies, education, and other areas of the federal budget.
4. Get rid of the Affordable Care Act.
5. Balance the budget in 10 years.

Unfortunately, our elected leaders have ignored the plan. It is therefore up to us to pressure them into bringing it forward during the fiscal cliff debate. Of course we know that the Washington establishment will never bring this plan forward, but we DARE them to do something to actually fix the problems instead of kicking the can down the road for us to worry about in the future. Call your Members of Congress and tell them to bring the Saving the American Dream plan up for a vote!

12 Days of Solutions - Cut Taxes to Promote Economic Growth

Once again, Washington is discussing how to take more of your money under the guise of “helping” you. In reality, they are talking about covering for the political establishment’s unwillingness to balance the budget, but they hide that behind talk of taxing “the rich.”

Yesterday, we outlined what the Penny Plan does for the federal budget – namely, balance non-interest spending. Today, we’re urging you to call your Member of Congress to ask him or her to support the basic platform of cutting tax rates across the board.

Over the last 50 years, tax cuts have proven to drastically increase the dynamic nature of the American economy. Whether under President Kennedy or President Reagan, the economy was always stronger after tax cuts.

Unfortunately, Washington refuses to admit its problem is spending, not a lack of tax dollars going to Washington bureaucrats. We urge you to call your Member of Congress and tell him or her to lower taxes overall, not go along with the massive tax hikes coming in 2013.

Of course, we know that the establishment in Washington will take a plan as simple as this seriously. As the "fiscal cliff" looms we will see them agree to a bad deal that raises taxes and increases spending which will surely have a devastating affect on the economy, inflating prices for everyday consumers and increasing the number of people who are unemployed. So, in the unlikely event that Washington will prove us wrong, we DARE them to cut taxes for all Americans to jump start the economy.

Call your Member of Congress. Let him or her know that Speaker Boehner should propose cutting taxes for all Americans to President Obama instead of raising your taxes.
