The House Democrats narrowly won the 210-209 vote to adjourn Congress yesterday without discussing the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts, according to Jordan Fabian of The Hill. Republican and Conservative Candidate for New York’s Fourth Congressional District, Fran Becker, points out that Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (NY-Garden City) wasn’t one of the 39 Democrats to vote against the adjournment. Becker states, “Ms. McCarthy has once again misrepresented the people of the Fourth Congressional District. She had the chance to end the uncertainty facing small businesses and families, instead, she voted with her Democratic majority. “
Congressman John Boehner explained the decision for congress to adjourn in simple terms. He states, “A vote to adjourn this Congress without an up-or-down vote to stop all the tax hikes is a vote to raise taxes and destroy more jobs.”
According to Becker,” The people are looking to their leaders to represent them and vote in their best interest, during this time of economic uncertainty.” He states, “Ms. McCarthy has failed once again.”
Becker states, “The families and taxpayers in the district need a Congressional Representative who will stand up to Pelosi and demand that Congress extend the tax cuts. Unfortunately, McCarthy has turned her back on the residents of the 4th CD and is once again siding with Pelosi as she tries to impose her ultra-liberal agenda on the country.”
He continues, “The tax hike will increase income taxes on small businesses from 33% to 36% and from 36% to 39.6%. This will severely limit small businesses ability to create jobs. “
The tax hikes will also penalize married couples with children. Ryan Ellis from Americans for Tax Reform states, “The “marriage penalty” will return from the first dollar of income. The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level. The dependent care tax credit will be cut.”
Failure to vote for or against the tax extensions is irresponsible. Becker said, "Raising taxes in this economy is irresponsible and will further hamper an already sluggish and anemic recovery. We should not be taking more money out of the pockets of consumers and businesses when we need them to spend and to grow.
“It speaks volumes that Carolyn McCarthy couldn't break with her leadership to vote to stay in session. I believe the tax cuts should be extended in their entirety, but it appears that once again Ms. McCarthy has decided to run from the problem, instead of face it.”
Fran Becker is the Republican candidate for New York's 4th Congressional District. He is running against incumbent Carolyn McCarthy (D-Garden City), who has held the seat for 14 years. Fran is a business owner, an employer, and a certified financial planner. Fran has the background, experience and qualifications to get the job done in Congress.

Repeal Obamacare
Last week, additional provisions of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act went into effect. This is the 2400 page bill that was passed under the instructions of Nancy Pelosi, who said “we have to pass the bill so that we can find out what is in it.” Thanks to Nancy Pelosi and the people who approved the bill such as Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, we now know what is in the bill.
Obamacare has forced insurance companies to stop writing child-only policies. The National Review states, “Obamacare forces insurance companies to accept children who are already sick with pre-existing conditions on the same terms as healthy children, parents now have a strong incentive to wait until their children are sick to buy child-only policies, making the products a guaranteed money-loser for insurers, which are not in the business of guaranteeing losses to their investors and employees.”
After meeting with Senate Democrats last December, President Obama said, “We agree on reforms that will finally reduce the costs of health care. Families will save on their premiums.” An article in the Wall Street Journal last week proved this isn’t the case. The article states, “In recent weeks, insurance companies have started mailing consumers letters informing them of double-digit rate increases starting this month.”
Obamacare is also harmful to small businesses. Fran Becker states, “I believe it is necessary to repeal Obamacare because it is already killing job creation. Businesses will not hire additional employees if they will have to pay additional taxes for each employee they hire.” He continues, “Carolyn McCarthy is out of touch with the people of New York’s Fourth Congressional District. Voting for a bill without reading it is simply absurd.”
Becker has a clear vision and plan that will help our country overcome its economic malaise. His Five Point Plan is as follows:
1. Reduce Spending to free up capital markets for private sector borrowing. This will create jobs and create an environment of economic growth and innovation. Start by eliminating so-called "stimulus programs" that create nothing sustainable.
2. Cut Taxes for New Businesses 2-5 years old. Cuts will be given as a refundable credit equal to the FICA tax on the first $50,000 of wages for all non-owner employees. This creates additional capital for survival, growth and expansion, fueling the nation's engine of economic growth.
3. Extend The Tax Cuts Set To Expire December 31, 2010 to keep the tax burden on our economy from increasing in this time of recession. If Congress fails to extend these cuts, we will face the largest tax increase in history.
4. REPEAL OBAMACARE which imposes taxes and fees on individuals, health insurance companies, medical equipment manufacturers and businesses. Businesses will not hire new employees if forced to pay additional taxes on each new employee hired.
5. Free Us From Foreign Energy Dependence by adopting an "all of the above" energy policy. By increasing our production of domestic energy sources, we will create productive jobs that will stimulate other sectors of our economy.

Becker Challenges McCarthy
Fran Becker calls on Rep. Carolyn McCarthy to explain her voting record. “While Ms. McCarthy was in her exclusive Hamptons home, our country has incurred 13 trillion dollar deficits, billions of dollars in bailouts, job killing stimulus bills, leading to record high unemployment, 500 billion dollars in Medicare cuts, hurting our Senior Citizens, a complete government takeover of the best Healthcare system in the world, and the worst recession in decades.” Becker continues, “In D.C., Ms. McCarthy voted for Nancy Pelosi’s liberal agenda 97% of the time. She supports the building of the Mosque at Ground Zero and her support of Israel is lukewarm at best. I am calling on Ms. McCarthy to come home and defend her voting record.”
Recently, Paul and Mark Magliochetti of the PMA Group lobbying firm were indicted and charged for making illegal campaign contributions, Mark Magliochetti pleaded guilty, according to the Daily News. Ms. McCarthy was one of the recipients of the illegal campaign donations. The Daily News also reported that Ms. McCarthy sent 4.3 million dollars to the Magliochetti’s. Becker demands an answer, “She has got to answer for the 4.3 million dollars she sent to the two clients of the PMA Group.” He continues, “This is Washington politics at its worst. Ms. McCarthy has become part of the problem in Washington, I will be part of the solution, and return this “house” back to the people.”

Becker was listed as a candidate that is “On the Radar.” The NRCC states, “After reaching the first and second step of the three-step program, these ‘On the Radar' and ‘Contender' candidates now face a new set of rigorous benchmarks that will continue to help them build competitive, effective and winning campaigns.”
Becker, who represents the Republican, Conservative, Independence, and Tax Revolt lines, is tired of the incompetence in Washington and the misrepresentation of New York’s 4th Congressional District. He states, “McCarthy has voted for Nancy Pelosi’s liberal agenda 97 percent of the time. This district needs a representative who will stand up to the radical liberal tax and spend agenda of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, which is killing jobs instead of creating them.” Becker continues, “I am a fiscal Conservative and have solutions that will return our country to fiscal sanity and stop the current policies that are bankrupting our nation!”
Professionally, Becker is a Certified Financial Planner and owns Becker & Associates Planning Services. Becker states, “As a Certified Financial Planner, I help people plan responsible financial futures. One of the main principles of financial planning is you can’t spend money that you don’t have.” He continues, “If elected, I will use my experience to restore fiscal responsibility in Washington.”
