We need to get out of the way of the small business owner - and big business owners - and allow them to do what government can only dream of doing: creating jobs and thereby creating wealth.

We must get government out of the way and help foster an environment where small businesses are free to grow and create jobs.

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.

Part of any solution to get our economy going should include steps to free up our small businesses by peeling back unnecessarily burdensome regulations, ending the continual threats of tax hikes, and addressing the cloud of federal debt that hangs over our economy.
