The document discusses Congressman Jim Jordan and the Economic Freedom Act, a bill introduced to replace stimulus plans and promote economic recovery through reducing taxes and government spending. The bill would halve the payroll tax for 2010, eliminate the capital gains and death taxes, and lower the corporate tax rate to 12.5% to encourage business growth and job creation. However, the bill currently remains in committee as Democrats are unlikely to allow it to the House floor, but Republicans may support bringing it to a vote if they gain a majority in November. Congressman Tom Rooney also announced his support for the bill, arguing it would help Florida businesses and address the state's high unemployment rates.

ECONOMIC FREEDOM ACT “ My constituents are still asking, ‘Where are the jobs?’ Florida’s statewide unemployment rate is 12.3 percent, and in some counties in my district, unemployment is as high as 15 percent.
