For small businesses, you need less taxes, less federal spending, and you need less regulation that blocks their growth.

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

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.

If we want our regulators to do better, we have to embrace a simple idea: regulation isn't an obstacle to thriving free markets; it's a vital part of them.

When we get government off the backs of our job creators, small businesses have a better chance of thriving. And when small businesses thrive, so does our economy.

There is so much uncertainty out there, and the government in Washington doesn't seem to get it. What's needed is a new business environment.

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.

Lower taxes, less government spending on domestic programs and fewer regulations mean a better economy for everybody.

And fifth, we will champion small businesses, America's engine of job growth. That means reducing taxes on business, not raising them. It means simplifying and modernizing the regulations that hurt small business the most. And it means that we must rein in the skyrocketing cost of healthcare by repealing and replacing Obamacare.

We are particularly poor at the open economy issues.
