Scott Brown: Let’s give stimulus back to workers
By Jessica Van Sack

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s first
piece of legislation is a proposal to return unspent stimulus cash in
the form of a payroll tax cut for workers, a proposal that came as the
Bay State Republican was named to the prestigious Armed Services
committee.
“The best way to revive our economy and spur job creation is by
returning money directly to the American people so they can save and
put money back into the economy,” Brown said yesterday. “Families are
still hurting and their hard-earned tax dollars are sitting unused in a
stimulus slush fund in Washington.”
Aides described Brown’s proposal as a temporary tax cut that applies
to workers making roughly $200,000 or less a year, designed to “help
out people who make less more.” It would kick in immediately upon
passage, saving the average worker about $100 a month for a total of at
least $500 for individuals and $1,000 for working couples, the
senator’s aides said.
