SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 21
(By Senators Boley, Deem, Sprouse, Minear, McKenzie,
Facemyer, Anderson and Ross)
Requesting West Virginia's congressional delegation support a tax
relief plan.
Whereas, Federal taxes are the highest they have ever been
during peacetime in the United States; and
Whereas, America's taxpayers should be allowed to keep more
of their own money; and
Whereas, Under current tax law, low-income workers often pay
the highest marginal tax rates in the United States; and
Whereas, A tax relief plan shall consider the current debt
of the United States; and
Whereas, A tax relief plan that contributes to raising the
standard of living for all Americans is needed; and
Whereas, A tax relief plan that treats all middle-class
families more fairly and encourages entrepreneurship and growth
and promotes charitable giving is needed; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby requests West Virginia's
congressional delegation support and work to pass a tax relief
plan, but the Senate is unaware of the exact terms of the tax relief plan proposed by President George W. Bush; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to
forward a copy of this resolution to West Virginia's
congressional delegation and to President George W. Bush.
