President’s Radio Address to the Nation – December 7, 2007
In his weekly radio address President Bush said, “Congress needs to pass legislation to modernize the FHA. This bill could allow the FHA to help 250,000 families by the end of 2008. Congress needs to temporarily reform the tax code to help homeowners refinance during this time of housing market stress. And Congress needs to pass funding to support mortgage counseling. With this funding, we could help more homeowners choose the mortgage that is right for them.”

Discurso Radial del Presidente a la Nación – 7 de diciembre de 2007
Hoy quisiera hablarles sobre algunas políticas importantes que afectan
a los contribuyentes y dueños de casa en esta temporada de fiesta. El
jueves el Senado de los Estados Unidos aprobó un proyecto de ley para
arreglar el Impuesto Mínimo Alternativo, o AMT por sus siglas en
inglés. El AMT fue diseñado para asegurar que los ricos pagaran su
parte justa en impuestos. Pero cuando el Congreso aprobó el AMT hace
décadas, no llevaba un índice para inflación. Como resultado, la carga
tributaria más elevada del AMT está incidiendo en un número cada vez
mayor de familias de media clase, y hasta 25 millones de
estadounidenses estarían sujetos al AMT. Como promedio, estos
contribuyentes tendrían que enviar unos 2,000 dólares adicionales al
Servicio de Impuestos Internos el año próximo. Este es un enorme
aumento en los impuestos que los contribuyentes no merecen – y que el
Congreso tiene que detener. -
