I don't want to be partisan here. But please, tell me how you get out of a business recession by raising business taxes and regulations?

We need to lower marginal tax rates and increase investment.

We need to repeal and replace Dodd-Frank. We need to make America fair again for all businesses, but especially those being run by small business owners.

We need financial regulation that allows businesses and the banks they use to have access to the tools that help keep prices of consumer goods - like groceries and home heating oil - steady, while ensuring that the taxpayers are never again on the hook for the types of wild bets that helped crash the economy in 2008.

We will as soon as possible reexamine our laws and policies and eliminate all obstacles to genuine investment.

We need to end permanently the tax that punishes American values of savings and investment and of building small businesses and family farms and ranches.

The bottom line is we need a tax code that is more simpler, that is more fairer, that gets rid of the special carve-outs, the special lobbyist loopholes. That's the direction we need to go.

We need to even out the tax code for small businesses so that we lower their tax rate to 25 percent, just as we need to lower it for all businesses.

Providing tax relief and reducing regulations leads to job creation and new economic opportunities for our small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy.
