The National Roofing Contractors
Association is supporting the proposed 2013 budget passed by the House Budget
Committee March 21.
Officials with the association say
it balances budget cuts and spending reforms to help jump-start the American
economy in general and the roofing industry in particular.
As part of the proposal committee
Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) suggests lowering the corporate and top
individual tax rates to 25 percent and eliminating the alternative minimum tax.
The plan would cut taxes for all
businesses, regardless of how they are structured, NRCA said, adding that with
a 17 percent unemployment rate, the construction industry needs help.
