During these tough economic times, the last thing Congress needs to do is place more burden on individuals and small businesses. Providing small businesses tax incentives will allow them to increase their workforce, invest and create jobs.
President Barack Obama, last night:
The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: ...it will cut payroll taxes in half for every working American and every small business.
...Pass this jobs bill -- pass this jobs bill, and starting tomorrow, small businesses will get a tax cut if they hire new workers or if they raise workers' wages. Pass this jobs bill, and all small business owners will also see their payroll taxes cut in half next year. (Applause.) If you have 50 employees -- if you have 50 employees making an average salary, that's an $80,000 tax cut. And all businesses will be able to continue writing off the investments they make in 2012.
Congressman Frank Guinta, minutes later:
Americans were looking to the President for leadership and to chart a new path to lower unemployment tonight. Instead, they got more failed policy and empty eloquence.
Carol Shea-Porter, today (email release):
"After spending his whole vacation insisting that he was so bipartisan now that he was friends with Barney Frank, it did not take our current Congressman, Frank Guinta, a New York minute to condemn President Obama's Jobs Program. One of the top Republican leaders, Rep Eric Cantor, said, 'But there are some things that we can do if we transcend those differences and stick to what the mission here is,' but Frank simply refused to be bipartisan at all, flatly stating, 'they got more failed policy and empty eloquence.' New Hampshire's First District needs someone who has experience working across the aisle, and I will continue to do just that when I return to Congress."
If "the last thing Congress needs to do is place more burden on individuals and small businesses," then why did Congressman Frank Guinta choose to do that by bashing the President's jobs plan immediately after it was delivered?
