Texto com exercícios para Câmara e Receita

Olá pessoal,

     Hoje estou trazendo um texto direcionado
principalmente para a Câmara e Receita, as palavras em destaque em negrito são
aquelas que formam o vocabulário específico (terminologia), tentem responder o
significado sozinhos, para testarem seus conhecimentos,no final do artigo, eu
disponibilizo as respostas.

      House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a
member of his party’s Senate leadership, have both
advocated denying the tax cut extension to those making
above $1 million annually. Extending the tax cuts only for households making
below $250,000 costs the government about $800 billion less over 10 years than
extending them for everyone. The full cuts cost the government about $4.5
trillion over a decade.

      Obama was to continue the tax debate
Tuesday during a campaign trip to Iowa. His re–election
team was also promoting the president’s tax policy at a
series of events this week in battleground states, including New Hampshire,
Colorado and Nevada. The Bush-era tax cuts are due to expire at the end of the
year unless Congress votes to extend them. Economists worry that across–the–board
tax increases, along with automatic spending cuts also scheduled
to take hold at year’s end, could be a blow to the shaky U.S. economy.

(WASHINGTON) —
Seeking an election–year fight over taxes,
President Barack Obama is hitting the road to press Congress to extend tax cuts
for low– and middle–income earners, framing a
debate with Mitt Romney and congressional Republicans over tax
fairness. Obama was making his pitch Tuesday in Iowa, the state
that launched his presidential bid in 2008. He faces a tough
contest there against Romney this fall.

Ainda que você não vá fazer Receita ou Câmara, procure fazer os
exercícios, pois em Língua estrangeira, todo vocabulário é bem-vindo. Os alunos
que estão fazendo o curso para a Câmara aqui no Estratégia encontrarão na
ultima aula (05), um simulado com um texto semelhante a este, bem como dois
glossários com termos legislativos.

Fiquem com Deus sempre,
