Tea party congressman beats Obama to ‘American Jobs Act of 2011′; bill would eliminate corporate taxes

Louie Gohmert, a Republican representative from Texas, sat in the House chamber last Thursday night and listened while President Obama told members of Congress to pass his plan for job creation, which he called "The American Jobs Act." The weekend went by, but House Democrats didn't submit an official piece of legislation with Obama's proposals.

Nearly a full week passed. Still no bill.

So Gohmert took matters into his own hands. He submitted his own bill and titled it, "The American Jobs Act of 2011."

Below is the shortened version of the bill from the above article. Go here for the full text.
