It’s Official

September 8, 2010 By congressman-jim-mcgovern

I’m impatient.  I’m impatient to get things done — to cut through bureaucratic red tape to get people back to work and to see our economy flourish.  I’ve heard a lot of rhetoric about what some people are ‘against.’  Instead, my focus is on progress, growth, development, and the future.

We need to invest in infrastructure, and we need to invest in education.  And to the extent we skimp on education, we’re going to lose our competitive edge.

You are part of my grassroots support that I am so grateful to have.  Please take a few minutes to watch my video below, and to get involved at JimMcGovern.com.

Thank you for your support!  To get involved visit my website.

Sincerely,

Jim

    Dear Jim, I was happy to hear about the biotechnology companies you have aided in the third district. It was the first place I lived when I moved to Massachusetts and there are a lot of good people there who could really help turn the economy around.

    p>Biotechnology is a popular field for government aid, although nobody can say what will happen in the future, and there is always a possibility that new fields will open up. It takes a long time for the federal government to pass a law helping this sector or that.

    p>Wouldn’t it be better for us to simply develop a level playing field for all new technologies by keeping investment taxes low? And doesn’t President Obama’s plan to raise investment taxes cut off that money when we need it most?

      p>LA Times September 8:

      p>

      The president’s proposal for an immediate tax write-off of new equipment purchases for businesses was a centerpiece of tax proposals promoted by his Republican rival during the 2008 presidential campaign, Sen. John McCain of Arizona. And Republican lawmakers have routinely supported extending the popular tax credit for business research and development.
      Even so, experts questioned whether the inconsistency would win political points for Obama or the Democrats.

      “So, Republicans are going to filibuster the R&D credit even though they supported it,” said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington. “I just think it’s way below the vast majority of voters.”

        Can he target his tax credit so none of the wealthiest American can get it?

        p>Obama proposes to raise capital gains taxes from 15% to 20%, while taxes on dividends and interest will go from 15% to 39%.

And just like that, the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Everett City Council has zero diverse voices but no one cares as the “fight against racism” is highly selective, opportunistic, and politicized around here.

The Meaning of African American Studies. The discipline emerged from Black struggle. Now the College Board wants it to be taught with barely any mention of Black Lives Matter. #UrbanAgenda #BOSpoli #MApoli

Those who are chronically homeless without shelter suffer from high rates of untreated severe substance use disorders & mental illness. States have a legal & ethical obligation to step in & help vulnerable people who can’t act for themselves. #MAPOLI https://theconversation.com/the-ethical-dilemmas-behind-plans-for-involuntary-treatment-to-target-homelessness-mental-illness-and-addiction-198707?fbclid=IwAR2pYO2-l7UKBci_C7st5Jhdld1u_f_hXpbQc_HCf5vnJ9D1a1QyJ199D_8
