JOBS AND ECONOMY

Small businesses are the foundation of our economy and their hard work and innovation should be rewarded and not penalized.  During these tough and uncertain economic times the last thing Congress needs to do is place more burden on individuals and small businesses.  Allowing individuals and small businesses to keep more of their money will allow them the opportunity to invest and spend and improve the current economic downturn.  Increased taxes will compel small businesses to reduce their workforce when our nation is already experiencing high rates of unemployment.  Conversely, providing small businesses tax incentives will allow them to increase their workforce.
