Last week President Obama spoke to all of Congress to announce his new American Jobs Act. Too bad John Boehner didn't ask to sign it right then...of course it wasn't finished yet. The President unveiled his bill this week.
BUT, too late, Rep. Louis Gohmert (R) already stole away the name for a bill of his own. His American Jobs Act is HR 2911.
Gohmert's Act is only two pages long and would end all current federal taxes on income earners and corporations by setting the tax rates to zero. "The amount of the tax imposed by subsection (a) shall be zero percent of taxable income" In contrast, President Obama’s “American Jobs Act” raises taxes on individuals and corporations, and gives tax credits for preferred groups.
