Issue Position

Economic Security--Revitalizing Our Economy and Creating Jobs

Congressman Sessions supports an economic agenda to provide tax relief, encourage savings and investment, and create jobs. He also believes a strong economy requires a good education, reliable & affordable health care (including prescription drugs), a secure retirement, a comprehensive energy policy, and new markets for America's products through expanded trade.

Good jobs depend on sound tax policy. Congressman Sessions believes that people--not government--should have more money to spend, in order to create jobs, and encourage savings and investment. Congressman Sessions also believes that the quickest way to create jobs and speed up economic recovery is to grow the economy by encouraging investment in factories and equipment and by speeding up tax relief so people have more money to spend. The best way to guarantee future surpluses is to guarantee future economic growth.

Protecting the American Taxpayer & Lowering Taxes

Congressman Sessions believes that fiscal responsibility in Washington, DC, and protection of the American taxpayer should be Congressional priorities.

Congressman Sessions also strongly supports legislation holding the IRS accountable to the same laws as taxpayers and legislation replacing the entire current tax-collection system with a system that is fairer, flatter, and simpler. While complete tax reform remains a top priority, he is also focused on ensuring that we continue to reduce taxation on saving and investment, which will in turn encourage immediate growth and private enterprise.
