(CNSNews.com) – Conservative leaders released a letter today denouncing House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) proposal to raise taxes on Americans, the “Plan B,” and called upon other House Republicans to vote against the measure.
Under Boehner’s plan, the marginal tax rate for people earning $1 million or more per year would rise to 39.6 percent and certain deductions and loopholes would end. The White House has rejected the proposal.
In the letter released by the Conservative Action Project, headed by former Attorney General Edwin Meese, it states, “Speaker Boehner, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and too many members of the Republican conference have forgotten that the problem in Washington is too much spending and not too little taxation.”
“When the American people voted to return the Republican majority in the House last month, we sent you to cut spending,” reads the letter. “Instead, you are now voting on the Pelosi plan to increase taxes next year.”
The letter described Boehner’s “Plan B” as a “tax hike,” and said “this tax increae bill is just like the tax increase proposal Nancy Pelosi offered last year on May 23.”
