Cedar Rapids, IA - Americans for Prosperity - Iowa issued the following statement in response to President Obama's speech today on taxes:
"The White House continues to play politics instead of trying to fix the economy. It's ironic that the same President who has repeatedly blamed his economic failures on his predecessor and bashed the "Bush tax cuts" now wants to extend those same tax cuts for some Americans. Of course, the greater irony is that he is hiking taxes for millions of middle class Americans with the new health care law.
Obama's strategy of one foot on the gas, one foot on the brake, will never get our economy moving. We need real, permanent tax relief for all Iowans."
