CSE tells Congress, White House to ‘Stick with the Plan’

Various press reports today indicate that the Administration may be considering a deal with Congress that would remove the dividend tax repeal from the President’s jobs and growth plan. The 280,000 members of Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE) strongly urge the Administration to stand by its commitment to a full repeal of the double tax on dividends.

CSE President and CEO Paul Beckner had these comments:

“The dividend tax repeal is the main engine of growth in the President’s jobs and growth package. Backing away from full repeal will tie the President’s hands as he works for economic growth.

“The President has a good plan. Let’s stick with that plan.

“On behalf CSE’s 280,000 members, I say to the Administration and Congress: ‘Don’t stunt the growth in the growth package.’”
