Issue Position: Job Creation

Issue Position

Jobs are created by business, not by government. Government serves to protect businesses and consumers from collusion, corruption, and misuse of monopolistic control. Government should manage these tasks with as little extraneous impact on business as possible.

As your Congressman, I will support the limited role of government as a steward to business, and help it to encourage business growth, which inevitably leads to job growth. The American people are suffering in this economy, and the sooner our government stops smothering us with bandages and the outrageous spending that accompanies them, the sooner Main Street can get back to the task it has been successfully fulfilling for 234 years, growing this great nation's economy.

Capitalism is messy, but it's better than all the alternatives. Our economic system has worked wonderfully for our country, and generation after generation has seen a greater standard-of-living. Occasionally, corporate greed offsets the genuine good of capitalism. Now is not the time to abandon what works. High taxes and entitlement spending are detrimental to the financial security of our country.

The business of America is still business. Although we've gone through tough transitions from a manufacturing power to the world's leading service provider, our economic system is still the envy of the world.
