Fair Taxes for All Home Page

President Bush recently announced his “economic growth plan”. His plan is another round of tax cuts that cost too much and would do little to stimulate the weak economy and create jobs now.

ICAN activists protesting Bush tax cuts The tax cuts are poorly designed and highly inequitable. They jeopardize the nation’s ability to meet its domestic and foreign responsibilities, threaten national and state fiscal stability and security both now and in the future.

In contrast to the President’s plan, any economic package must provide temporary, short-term stimulus that is fiscally responsible and equitable. Any such package should include aid to states to help respond to their fiscal crises, and should focus on people who will spend the money now, including those hard hit by the economic downturn.

Americans want a plan they can count on, instead of high-priced tax cuts that rob communities of resources they need for better schools, health care, job training, police and homeland security. They don’t want deeper deficits that will only slow economic growth.
