 Economy/Jobs

I'm a firm believer in the fact that government doesn't create jobs-- entrepreneurs do. Over the past couple of years, the federal government has passed numerous laws that will create unprecedented regulatory burdens for American businesses already struggling with poor economic conditions.

Countless businessmen and women have told me that the uncertainty created by sweeping changes to our health care system, financial market, tax codes, and possible climate change legislation have led to economic paralysis. Even businesses that are growing are hesitant to hire new employees because they are concerned about the risks posed by additional rules, regulations, and taxes.

The best approach to getting our economy back on track is to:

• Repeal Obamacare and replace it with market-based reforms that lower costs for consumers and employers.
• Extend the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts so families and businesses have certainty about future obligations.
• Cut corporate and capital gains taxes
• Promote domestic oil, gas, and alternative energy production
• Cut wasteful government spending
• And, revise financial regulations to spur investment in small businesses and entrepreneurial activity.
• on all our goods we send to them!  Also our government needs to enforce our trade agreements so they are fair.

I have:

• Voted to increase the deprecation rates for small businesses, so that the small business owner would have access to money to reinvest in his or her business.
• Voted for $100,000 in tax incentives for small businesses so they can reinvest in their companies. This will help them expand and create more jobs.  
• Voted to allow small businesses and farmers to deduct up to $25,000 of the cost of business related equipment. 
• Co-sponsored legislation that would allow self-employed individuals to deduct 100% of their health insurance premiums. 
• Voted to eliminate the Alternative Minimum Tax that affects the middle class.
• Voted to lower the Capital Gains Tax to encourage investments.
• In 1997, I helped craft the first balanced budget to pass the House of Representatives since 1969.  If we can do it again, it would lower long term interest rates for everyone and create new jobs.
• Eliminate Inheritance Tax so families don’t have to sell the family farm to pay Uncle Sam.
