The federal government does not exist to create jobs. In fact, every new job it does "create" is paid for by American taxpayers. What Washington should be doing is cutting taxes and limiting harmful regulations. If that happens, businesses -- especially small businesses -- will once again begin to expand, hire and thrive.

During my time as Chairman of the House Small Business Committee, I made job creation my top priority. America's small businesses create 70% of all new jobs. Removing the fear of new taxes and regulations is the key to growing our economy. Government can't create jobs, but it can create an environment where all of us have the opportunity to prosper and succeed.
