Brogdon plan would provide up to $2.6 billion in tax rebates to Oklahomans

(Updated)

From OK State Rep. Randy Brogdon (R-Owasso), who is running for the Republican nomination for Governor in 2010:

Yesterday, I announced my plan to introduce legislation that would provide up to $2.6 billion in tax rebates to the people of Oklahoma.

The reason I have proposed this legislation is simple – Governor Henry has chosen to listen to President Obama and the Washington insiders on how and where your tax dollars should be spent. The legislation I have proposed will put the choice on how to spend your money back in your hands.

For every dollar of President Obama’s stimulus program that Governor Henry decides to spend, I will introduce legislation that rebates the same amount back to the people of Oklahoma.

If Governor Henry decides to take the full $2.6 billion, then my plan will first start by issuing a sales tax rebate of $400 per person.

That means a family of five would receive a $2000 tax rebate.

After that, we would rebate up to $1 billion of what Oklahomans paid last year in income taxes. That could amount to an income tax rebate of anywhere up to 40% for the average Oklahoman.

This ensures that all Oklahomans get back their tax dollars with ‘No Strings Attached’. And that’s what my whole debate with Governor Henry on the stimulus money has been about.

If we truly want to stimulate Oklahoma’s economy then let’s take the money out of the hands of the Washington politicians who want to tell us how to spend it and let you and I decide how to spend our tax dollars!

In the next few weeks, I encourage you to call your State Legislator and show your support for the Brogdon Rebate plan.

Together we can revitalize our economy and ensure that the people of Oklahoma will receive their tax dollars with “NO STRINGS ATTACHED!”

Sincerely,
