Small businesses need support, not barriers, for growth
As our country works hard to pull itself out of a recession, Washington should be focused on policies that support economic growth and job creation. Yet at this crucial moment, small businesses are growing increasingly agitated over a tax filing requirement in the new health care law that will actually inhibit job growth and bury businesses in a new mound of paperwork. You read that right: a health care provision -- completely unrelated to health care -- that will stifle job creation. Last week I took action to repeal this burdensome provision, and to protect job creators from yet another Washington anti-job mandate.
