      Jim Cooper Claim your tax break on flood damage THIS YEAR with an amended tax return.

      A federal tax cut for flood victims? It's not only a great idea, it's already the law. The best part is: the bigger your loss, the bigger your tax cut.

        Jim Cooper If you have suffered damages from the flood, take pictures and keep all receipts. You can claim a Disaster Relief Tax Cut for your losses not covered by insurance, FEMA or SBA loans.

          Jim Cooper We can make our income tax system fairer by
          reducing loopholes, lowering the tax rates and still raising enough
          revenue

          If you really love your family or your country you help pay its bills. You don't need to include a Valentine card with your tax return to show your patriotism, but we all should appreciate living

          Jim Cooper It's easy to talk tough on this. It's harder to deliver... For all the folks who want to talk tough and not
          vote tough, that's not good enough.
