Sue Lowden urges Reid to provide immediate, permanent tax relief

Nevada taxpayers are best equipped to provide economic stimulus; Reid’s failed, big-government solutions are not working (Minden, NV) – While traveling on her statewide campaign tour and visiting Minden businesses and employees, Nevada businesswoman and candidate for U.S. Senate issued the following statement in response to new unemployment numbers released by the State of Nevada. Unemployment shot back up in Nevada during the month of December to 13.1 percent.

“Harry Reid needs to quit scaring Nevada families, taxpayers and job providers with threats of higher taxes, higher deficit spending and higher unemployment. Government-takeovers do not work. The bailouts have not worked. Taking more of our private sector dollars during a recession to grow government does not work.

“Hardworking Nevada families and job providers know best how to stimulate the economy. They do it by keeping more of their money here in Nevada and not sending it to Washington to be squandered away on failed programs.

“Today, I am calling on Senator Reid to propose immediate and permanent tax relief. We need to make the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent. We need to permanently eliminate the Death Tax. We need to cut the corporate tax so businesses stop leaving America and taking the jobs with them to other countries. We need to cut the payroll tax and we must cut Capital Gains taxes to stimulate investment.

“It has been proven in previous Republican and Democratic administrations that tax cuts stimulate economic growth and job creation. Private sector economic growth and job creation then increases tax revenues. Couple that with the five percent spending cut I have proposed, and we can start getting our fiscal house back in order, pay off debt and most importantly, create real jobs for real people. These private sector jobs will provide Nevadans with long-lasting careers, economic stability and the ability to stay in their homes.”
