Issue Position: Jobs & the Economy

Issue Position

Immediately stop the hundreds of thousands of job-killing regulations coming from federal agencies.

There are three easy ways to jumpstart our economy: lower tax rates, eliminate burdensome regulations and get government off the backs of our small businesses. This is the primary reason why we must get rid of Obamacare once and for all. Until we do these things and rid Washington, D.C. of the notion that we can spend our way out of this recession, our economy will remain stuck in neutral. No more tax increases - no more new taxes. We need a total review and major overhaul of our federal tax system.

Washington politicians constantly talk about job creation. The problem is that government does not create jobs. When about 75% of new jobs are created annually by small businesses, the best thing that D.C. can do is create and support policies that encourage job growth and make it easier to start and run small businesses. It's time we cut the red tape created by Washington lawmakers that is strangling businesses.

We must create initiatives that help people get back on their feet rather than force-feeding handout programs that entrap people who are in poverty and dependent on the government.
