WE SHOULD ALSO STRENGTHEN THE
ECONOMY BY TREATING INVESTORS
EQUALLY IN OUR TAX LAWS.
IT'S FAIR TO TAX A COMPANY'S
PROFITS, IT IS NOT FAIR TO
AGAIN TAX THE SHAREHOLDER ON
THE SAME PROFITS.
TO BOOST INVESTOR CONFIDENCE
AND TO HELP THE NEARLY 10
MILLION SENIORS WHO RECEIVE
DIVIDEND INCOME, I ASK YOU TO
END THE UNFAIR DOUBLE TAXATION
OF DIVIDENDS.
LOWER TAXES AND GREATER
INVESTMENT WILL HELP THIS
ECONOMY EXPAND.
MORE JOBS MEAN MORE TAXPAYERS
AND HIGHER REVENUES TO OUR
GOVERNMENT.
THE BEST WAY TO ADDRESS THE
DEFICIT AND MOVE TOWARD A
BALANCED BUDGET IS TO ENCOURAGE
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TO SHOW
SOME SPENDING DISCIPLINE IN
WASHINGTON, D.C.

[eabinga]

WE MUST WORK TOGETHER TO FUND
ONLY OUR MOST IMPORTANT
PRIORITIES.
I WILL SEND YOU A BUDGET THAT
INCREASES DISCRETIONARY
SPENDING BY 4% NEXT YEAR, ABOUT
AS MUCH AS THE AVERAGE FAMILY'S
INCOME IS EXPECTED TO GROW.
AND THAT IS A GOOD BENCHMARK
FOR US.
FEDERAL SPENDING SHOULD NOT
RISE ANY FASTER THAN THE
PAYCHECKS OF AMERICAN FAMILIES.
A GROWING ECONOMY AND A FOCUS
ON THE CENTRAL PRIORITIES WILL
BE CRUCIAL TO THE FUTURE OF
SOCIAL SECURITY.
AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER
TO KEEP SOCIAL SECURITY SOUND
AND RELIABLE, WE MUST OFFER
YOUNGER WORKERS A CHANCE TO
INVEST IN RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
THAT THEY WILL CONTROL AND THEY
WILL OWN.
