The Next YouCut Vote

The current Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, is now considering raising taxes on American families and small businesses, many of which are already struggling to pay the bills. While she is talking about raising your taxes, over 97,000 government employees haven't even bothered to pay theirs - owing almost $1 billion in unpaid taxes.

This is simply unacceptable and the YouCut movement spoke out - this week's winning item, championed by Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, requires the collection of unpaid taxes from federal employees.

We brought your voice to the House floor - every Republican voted with you to hold these government employees accountable just like every other citizen. Unfortunately, 226 of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle voted against it; proving once again how out of touch with the American people they really are.

We must keep the focus on reducing wasteful government spending – your involvement in the YouCut program has been critically important. Together, we will change Washington's culture of spending into a culture of savings.

The next five cuts are already up on our website; take a moment to vote on which item you would like us to bring to the House floor next week.

Regards,

Eric Cantor
[Next] House [Majority Leader]
