Share Your Budget Stories (March 2009) PDF Print
I wanted to take the opportunity to reach out to you and find out what is on your mind regarding the economy, impending tax increases for all Americans, and the struggles that we're all facing today.  Despite his earlier promises not to raise taxes, the budget submitted by the President contains a massive energy tax hike that will cost Americans an average of $3,128 per year.  I'm eager to hear your stories and how this tax increase will affect your ability to pay for health care, your children's education, or every day bills.  I hope you'll take the time to email me or visit www.gop.gov/heartland to share your thoughts.
