Gus Bilirakis said "While working in Florida during August, I hosted two small business roundtables because I wanted to hear from my constituents on how the Federal Government can best help the small business community. Their message was loud and clear: Washington needs to get out of the way so small businesses can innovate, grow, and create desperately needed jobs. Burdensome regulations, the crippling costs of Federal health care reform, and uncertainty surrounding the Tax Code are holding businesses back from making crucial decisions. Jeff, a constituent who owns a moving company, told me, ``Gus, I have money in the bank. I'd love to do something with it, but I can't when everything is so uncertain.'' Reducing unnecessary regulations and simplifying the Tax Code would help provide the certainty that business owners like Jeff need to make the decisions that drive the economy forward. ___________________
