RESOLUTION SUPPORTING PRESIDENT

                 
BUSH'S TAX RELIEF PROPOSAL

                 
2001 GENERAL SESSION

                 
STATE OF UTAH

                 
Sponsor: David Clark

                  This joint resolution of the Legislature urges the United States Congress to support and
                  work to pass the tax relief plan introduced by President Bush.
                  Be it resolved by the Legislature of the state of Utah:
                      WHEREAS, federal taxes from all sources are currently the highest ever during peacetime;
                      WHEREAS, all taxpayers should be allowed to keep more of their own money;
                      WHEREAS, one of the best ways to encourage economic growth is to cut marginal tax
                  rates across all tax brackets;
                      WHEREAS, under current tax law, low-income workers often pay the highest marginal
                  rates and President Bush's tax cut would reduce the marginal tax rate by 40-50 percent for
                  low-income families with children;
                      WHEREAS, President Bush's tax relief plan will contribute to raising the standard of living
                  for all Americans by reducing tax rates, expanding the child tax credit, and reducing the marriage
                  penalty;
                      WHEREAS, President Bush's tax relief plan will increase access to the middle class for
                  hard working families, treat all middle class families more fairly, encourage entrepreneurship and
                  growth, and promote charitable giving and education; and
                      WHEREAS, under President Bush's tax relief plan, the largest percentage reductions will
                  go to the lowest income earners:
                      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of the state of Utah urges
                  the United States Congress to support and work to pass the tax relief plan introduced by President
                  Bush.
                      BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of the
                  United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members
                  of Utah's congressional delegation.
