ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on the jobs report:
“Today’s job numbers are another clear indication of the economic challenges facing our country. With Americans hurting, we must act to strengthen our economy for families and small businesses. We must help Americans now through gas tax relief, which provides immediate relief from rising energy prices. We must also help those facing home foreclosure by enacting a HOME plan. At the same time, we need to act to lower taxes, streamline regulation, lower health care costs, ensure energy independence and open foreign markets. To help those who have lost jobs, we must focus on promoting effective worker re-training programs.
“The wrong course for our country would be to follow Senators Obama and Clinton and their siren songs of higher taxes, bigger government, greater isolationism and a government-run health care system.”

During the Clinton years, Unemployment was higher and everyone was sitting around complaining about their taxes constantly going up. With a fragile economy, soaking the taxpayers with more burdensome taxes could push families living check to check straight into bankruptcy.
To punish the hardworking Americans with higher taxes will only reduce their buying power and create more dependence on government.
Hard work should be rewarded not discouraged.
Eliminating taxes on overtime hours worked would put some extra money into the hands of the folks that need it the most (the working class). Just tax people on 40 hrs, anything more is theirs. They did the work, why not let them keep more of their cash?
