“Tax cuts are working because individuals, families, and small businesses have greater freedom. They are investing. More jobs are being created, and there is more economic activity which makes our country more competitive. Our tax laws and regulatory policies--and any policy we have in this country--needs to ensure that there is more investment and more jobs in America. We ought not ruin opportunities for businesses to provide their employees with broad-based stock options. The People's Republic of China has technology companies that promote themselves because they have stock options for their employees. I hope in America we would not deny that opportunity. Internet taxes matter. We need not be imposing higher taxes on access to the Internet, particularly broadband. Energy is important. We need to have energy sufficiency and reliance, domestic production of natural gas or clean coal or oil, as well as advancements in new technology. And this highway bill is a part of that, it is also for infrastructure, jobs, and the movement of people to and from work with less congestion.”
