Noem Votes to Protect South Dakotans from Tax Hikes
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Kristi Noem today supported the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act, which shields Americans from pending tax hikes:
“Tax hikes limit growth because they ultimately limit economic opportunities,” said Noem. “With this legislation in place, more of our hard-earned money will stay in the hands of taxpayers, giving families more control over how their money is spent. I’m optimistic this package will also give farmers, homeowners, small businesses and families more certainty about what savings they’ll be able to find during tax time this year and in the years ahead. Leaving what you earn in your wallet is essential to growing a healthy and sustainable economy.”
The bipartisan Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act makes a number of temporary tax provisions permanent, delivering predictability, clarity and certainty for families and job creators. Included in the list of permanent extensions are:
- Section 179 business expensing limitations, which are important to many South Dakota farmers, ranchers and small businesses
- Improvements to 529 college savings plans
- Deduction for state and local sales tax
- Deduction for certain expenses of elementary and secondary school teachers
- Deductions for charitable giving
The legislation also temporarily extends the following through the end of 2016:
- Biodiesel tax credit
- Deduction for certain tuition and higher education expenses
- Indian employment tax credit
- Moratorium on Obamacare’s medical device tax (extended through 2017)
Finally, this legislation includes a series of reforms designed to rein in the power of the IRS and better protect taxpayers, such as:
- Firing IRS employees who take politically motivated actions against taxpayers
- Requiring IRS employees to respect the Taxpayer Bill of Rights
- Prohibit IRS employees from using personal email accounts for official business

More tax breaks and subsidies for Noem. Why do South Dakotans continue to vote against their own interests?
Vote No on the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill. How can you ask people to support the Republican brand when it fully funds ObamaCare, planned parenthood, Obama’s immigration, climate change, fast tracking trade agenda?
This is how Ryan is going to conduct business as usual in the House?? Obama’s press secretary was gleefully listing off all the things they won and the things Republicans wanted in the bill but that Obama and his party said no to. We might as well have kept Boehner as speaker and sent Democrats to DC in the last election.
So is this a separate bill or is it part of the omnibus bill?
Noem, Rounds and Thune are “good conservatives” who promised to oppose Obama’s liberal agenda of we sent them to DC together! They would never join with the liberal Democrats and vote for a bill that funds all of Obama’s liberal crap..
D’oh!!
Sonofa!
And now we find out why they get those big K-street $$$$$$$$$
