The U.S. tax code punishes families trying to make ends meet and employers trying to compete in the global marketplace.

If we are serious about reducing unemployment and strengthening our economy, we should let people keep more of their own money and help small businesses grow, not punish them with higher taxes. America’s greatness comes from its people and their innovation, not more government intrusion.

Reducing the tax burden on small business would free up money that could be used to invest in new equipment, grow their company and hire more workers.
