BREAKING: House Dems to use smoke and mirrors on service tax, refuse to cut!By Nick, Section News
That's right, they're not planning on repealing it... they're planning on replacing it dollar for dollar during session tomorrow.
The business community has correctly identified the Democrats' new $613+ million sales tax on services as a job killer. What Andy Dillon and his House Democrats have overlooked is the fact that a replacement of these tax dollars STILL takes over a half-billion out of the private sector, away from job makers and away from working moms and dads who would otherwise use that money to support their families. And it's not like there isn't plenty to cut and reform to make up the difference. The only thing stopping them from acting on the cuts is their rush to adjourn for another long vacation and the start of the hunting season. Please click HERE to find YOUR State Representative, contact them and ask them to do the right thing. To repeal the Democrat sales tax and to ACT on the House GOP list of cuts and reforms listed below. Read on...
