Creating Jobs

George firmly believes we need to stop penalizing entrepreneurship and hard work. The current Congressional majority talks about jobs a great deal, but continues to propose and maintain policies and programs which hinder economic recovery and growth in employment.

So called health care "reform" which drives up the costs for employers seeking to hire new workers is precisely the opposite of what we should be doing. A "cap and trade" proposal which places additional taxes and fees on energy producers - among others - results in increases in the cost of doing business and price hikes which are inevitably passed on to consumers, further reducing the incentive to create new jobs in the private sector.

George will fight to reform the tax code so that small businesses can keep a greater share of their earnings to reinvest in their business and create jobs. This type of creative solution is also a good fit for addressing the government's budget woes. When the corporate tax rate is low, revenues to the government rise, along with employment.
