Newt Gingrich at Press Club: How Much Time Will the President Spend Tonight Talking About Job Creation?
Gingrich: “America can’t work if Americans are not working”
WASHINGTON, July 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — American Solutions General Chairman Speaker Newt Gingrich held a press conference at the National Press Club today to call on the President and Congress to make creating jobs their top priority instead of imposing new job-killing health care and energy taxes.
“The first question is what should our priorities be. Unfortunately, the current the governing system has said the priority ought to be let’s have a gigantic energy tax which would kill jobs. Let’s pass a health bill that has a huge cost which would kill jobs. They have every priority except jobs,” Gingrich said at the press conference. “I think it will be fascinating this evening to see how much time the President spends explaining job creation and the economy before he moves on to his newest priority, which is unfortunately not creating jobs.”
In wake of the Federal Reserve’s recent report that we are nearing a 10% national unemployment rate, American Solutions launched today a “Jobs Here – Jobs Now – Jobs First” agenda that contains four positive solutions to help small business create new jobs now.
The four solutions are a 2 year, 50% payroll tax cut, cutting the corporate tax rate to 12.5% to match Ireland, abolishing the capital gains tax to match China, and ending the death tax.
“The first goal of government should be getting Americans back to work because America can’t work if Americans are not working,” Gingrich said. “Small businesses might not be able to give a pay raise in this economy, but they can give a take home pay raise with a 2 year, 50 percent payroll tax cut.”
He later went on to add, “I’m saying we need to have a stimulus but the stimulus ought to be small business, real workers and the economy. Liberals say we need to have a stimulus and the stimulus somehow is big politicians paying off big businesses through big bureaucracies.”
