While Obama was out campaigning all over the country for his so-called "jobs bill" -- which is really just another sure-to-fail "stimulus" bill -- conservatives in Congress introduced a REAL jobs bill. Members of the Republican Study Committee have unveiled a bold set of solutions to boost our economy.
The "Jobs Through Growth Act", which builds upon the good work already done by House Republicans, is all about keeping America open for business. It cuts through red tape. It makes the tax code simpler, flatter, and fairer. It tears down barriers to energy production and helps lower the price of gas. In short, it creates jobs by growing the economy -- not the government.
We can FINALLY get a REAL plan implemented to bring back jobs across America -- but we need YOUR help to force Congress to PASS THIS BILL!

As reported in the Washington Times, the idea behind the Jobs Through Growth Act is to simplify the message. "We take all the good things that the House has passed this year -- which went nowhere in the Senate -- and put it in a concise fashion," RSC Chairman Jim Jordan told the paper. The conservative caucus trimmed down the 10-page GOP leadership proposal to a more manageable two pages.
What's GREAT about this bill is that it places the focus on the private sector; THEY are the ones that create jobs and grow our economy -- not some idea that the president has that it's government that creates jobs.
The RSC proposal is the only congressional jobs plan that smartly includes individual tax reform. As Rep. Jordan explains, "simpler leads to more economic growth." The proposal would let taxpayers choose to stay in the current, complex system, or move to this flatter system. The plan sets only two individual income rates: 15 percent for individuals making up to $50,000 or couples up to $100,000 and then 25 percent for taxable income above those amounts. All the deductions and credits would be replaced with a $12,500 standard deduction per filer and per dependent.
The death tax would be eliminated. Capital gains would be capped at 15 percent, but indexed for inflation. Thecorporate tax rate would be reduced to 25 percent, and the worldwide tax structure would become a territorial system.
But it doesn't just focus on taxes!
The "Jobs Through Growth Act" would also cut regulations to spur job growth. It would put a hold on any new rules until unemployment falls to 7.7 percent. It gives small businesses relief by raising the threshold for regulations from 50 to 200 employees. No unelected executive-branch bureaucrats could put out rules with an economic impact of over $100 million without congressional approval. Small businesses are provided a path toopt out of federal regulations adopted since the recession started in 2007.
To top everything off, the "Jobs Through Growth Act" would take a number of steps to increase energy production. This includes encouraging drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and opening Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for development. It would repeal the Environmental Protection Agency's greenhouse-gas regulations. It puts the Keystone XL pipeline on the fast track.
FINALLY, THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR -- a REAL jobs bill that's about keeping America open for business, instead of just playing politics! BUT -- we have to FORCE Congress to pass it!

Here are the basics of this new conservative jobs bill we MUST get through Congress:
A Simpler, Flatter, Fairer Tax Code
- Modeled on the Taxpayer Choice Act of 2007, people can stay with the current income tax code or scrap it and switch to a system with just two rates (the lowest in 80 years), generous deductions for families, and no marriage penalty.
- To keep jobs from moving overseas, the bill cuts the corporate tax rate to 25%, targets loopholes for elimination, and encourages companies to bring money made overseas back into the U.S. economy.
- It helps small businesses, family farms, investors, and other job creators by eliminating the Death Tax, the AMT, and the investment tax on inflation.
- The bill calls a timeout on new regulations that create significant economic costs until the job market bounces back.
- Small businesses will get relief from current regulations with the ability to opt out of red tape imposed since the beginning of the recession. Additionally, the benchmark for exemption from many rules will also increase from 50 to 200 employees.
- Federal bureaucrats will be required to consider a proposed rule's impact on small businesses and get Congressional approval for "major" regulations.
- The bill gives Americans better access to their energy resources by curtailing frivolous litigation and unlocking areas for exploration both on and offshore.
- It reduces red tape, mandates, and prohibitions that artificially increase the price of gasoline.
- It green lights the Keystone pipeline and gives a one-year extension to OCS leases affected by the White House's drilling moratorium.

As the Washington Times noted, "From his actions, it's obvious President Obama isn't really all that interested in doing what it takes to get the millions of underemployed and jobless Americans back to work. He shows more interest in political theater that he hopes will rescue his flagging re-election effort." That's why we need to FORCE Congress to pass this CONSERVATIVE bill NOW. We've made it EASY to make your voice heard LOUD AND CLEAR on this issue -- please take action NOW!

P.S. This jobs plan, unveiled by the Republican Study Committee, an influential bloc of conservative House Republicans, has been described as "the exact opposite" of Barack Hussein Obama's so-called "jobs package" -- which is really no jobs package at all. PLEASE, take action RIGHT AWAY to DEMAND that Congress PASS this REAL jobs bill -- Thank you!
