Congress and the White House are closer than ever before to adopting the basic strategies of payroll tax shifting which Get America Working! pioneered and has advocated for well over a decade. Between now and the end of the year, we have an unprecedented opportunity to extend payroll tax cuts and offset them with non-labor revenues, which can double the job stimulus effect of payroll tax cuts alone, and create millions of jobs.
GAW! has articulated exactly how to do it in our proposals, and exactly how to pay for it in our new "Job Creating Tax Options" study. We’ve engaged the tax and deficit debate as thought leaders, both behind the scenes and in major media outlets, including a December 7 New York Times oped.
At present writing, our ideas on how to shift the tax code to create jobs are informing Congressional debate and headline news, and leaders in both parties are now vowing to find a way to extend payroll tax cuts into 2012. But the fact that so many more people are paying attention to our arguments means we need to redouble our efforts to put them across. You can help us do it. Get America Working! is a 501[c]3 organization and depends on the support of people like you. Your tax-deductible contribution in any amount will make a real difference by helping us distribute our "Tax Options" study, continue our outreach to policy and thought leaders and the media, and tell Washington why and how to take this critical step towards regaining meaningful job and economic growth.
