On the recordFebruary 15, 2012
Madam Speaker, I rise to ask my colleagues to support a tax cut to help entrepreneurs start businesses. Today, I'm introducing the Help Entrepreneurs Create American Jobs Act to permanently double the deduction for start-up expenses. Supporting small entrepreneurs, who are the true job creators, and creating jobs should be our number one priority. That is why President Obama called for this tax cut and why I am proud to stand with businesses across my district and the Nation to introduce this commonsense proposal. We must put party aside and make it easier for Americans to start small businesses. I ask my colleagues to support this bill. ____________________
