A HOUSE RESOLUTION requesting the congressional delegation of the state of north carolina support president bush's tax relief proposal.

Whereas, federal taxes are the highest they have ever been during peacetime; and
Whereas, all taxpayers should be allowed to keep more of their own money; and
Whereas, the best way to encourage economic growth is to cut marginal tax rates across all tax brackets; and
Whereas, under current tax law, low‑income workers often pay the highest marginal rates; and
Whereas, the American people have not received real tax relief in a generation; and
Whereas, President Bush's tax relief plan will contribute to raising the standard of living for all Americans; and
Whereas, President Bush's tax relief plan will increase access to the middle class for hard working families, treat all middle-class families more fairly, encourage entrepreneurship and growth, and promote charitable giving and education; and
Whereas, under President Bush's tax relief plan, the largest percentage reductions will go the lowest‑income earners; Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
SECTION 1.  The House of Representative of the State of North Carolina requests our elected representatives in the United States Congress support and work to pass the tax relief plan introduced by President Bush, which includes across‑the‑board reductions in marginal rates and reduces the marriage penalty.
SECTION 2.  The Principal Clerk shall transmit a certified copy of this resolution to each member of North Carolina's Congressional delegation.
SECTION 3.  This resolution is effective upon adoption.
