Biden: Payroll tax cut will create jobs
By Joe Biden
This year, January shouldn't be the month of the post-holiday doldrums. That
's because starting this week, across America, people will notice that,
thanks to the payroll tax cut included in the tax package signed by the
president in December, their paychecks will be bigger.
The tax cut decreases the federal payroll tax by 2 percentage points,
increasing the take-home pay for American workers everywhere. That is real
money for real people. For a couple making $60,000 each, their take-home pay
will climb $2,400 in 2011. That is $2,400 more in their pockets, and $2,400
more that could go into our economy creating jobs and growth. That's extra
money they can use to help with bills and groceries, or even to upgrade
appliances or make their home more energy efficient. All told, this tax cut
will put $112 billion into the pockets of 155 million workers, who will then
inject it back into the economy, spurring growth and creating jobs.
All of that spending, of course, will lead to an increase in demand for
products made right here in the U.S., creating more manufacturing jobs and
leading to more customers going into local businesses. Businesses across the
country will get the extra economic push they need to expand and bring
workers back on the payroll. Economists, experts and commentators from
across the political spectrum agree that the payroll tax holiday is one of
the most effective ways to spark real, lasting economic growth.
No effect on deficit
As an extra holiday bonus, because this is a temporary measure, the cuts
will grow our economy now without adding to our deficit in the future. In
fact, the payroll tax cut was recommended by both the president's fiscal
commission and the Bipartisan Policy Center's Debt Reduction Task Force as
one of the most economically efficient ways to create jobs and grow the
economy.
Critics have been spreading misinformation that the payroll tax cut will
threaten the solvency of Social Security. That's just plain wrong. The
legislation creating the tax cut requires that any money the payroll tax
would have provided to Social Security be replaced by other U.S. general
revenue funds, protecting Social Security without an additional burden on
taxpayers. The Social Security Trust Fund's chief actuary as well as the
executive vice president of the AARP have both spoken out, saying that the
payroll tax cut will have no financial impact on Social Security.
Creating jobs
This payroll tax cut — which is showing up in workers' first paychecks this
month — represents just the kind of sound economic policy this
administration has pursued from the get-go. Money will immediately get into
the hands of those who need it most — middle class families — and economic
history has time and again shown that they will go out and spend it,
spurring demand and creating jobs. Combined with the other elements of the
tax package signed by the president, the plan is estimated to create more
than 1.5 million jobs, with some analysts predicting even more.
Like the rest of the tax package, cutting the payroll tax helps millions of
American families keep their jobs, keep a roof over their heads, keep food
on the table, and keep their kids in school, all while keeping our economic
recovery moving in the right direction. It gives millions of Americans help
where they need it most — in their wallets. And it puts us all more quickly
on the road to a strong, robust, enduring economic recovery. A happy
holiday, indeed. | l****z

results in more jobs because of the money freed up for spending. When you
reduce taxes on the top 10% ie. rich people (which by the way pay 90% of the
taxes) they spend the money. Okay, maybe it is on boats or private jets or
bigger houses-- but guess what, it takes jobs - that is people-- to build
those boats, jets or houses. They also invest their money which results in
more money in the system to loan to businesses to expand to create jobs. I
believe the term "TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS" comes to mind. Thank God we only
have 23 more months of ODUMA and his idiot side kick JOEY. | t**x

这个家伙选择民主党可能就是为了当地选票更多些。一个老狐狸。
当时奥巴马选他，他就等奥巴马被杀自己当总统。结果奥巴马活得好好的。
这个家伙很聪明，看上去绝对是个能干的家伙。可惜了。 。
还有奥巴马，当时竞选的时候感觉就是先帝的粉丝，结果真是那么回事。他们这个年纪的估计国家领导人大多数都是先帝的粉丝，包括胡和习。只不过现在各个国家都是金钱说话，，，，，
先帝的确是千年一帝啊。 | N********n
