Profit is not a dirty word. It is a dirty word to the government, okay? They don't understand small business.

Interest is an expense. Interest is not cash. There is no way you should be paying tax on an expense.

Our nation's small businesses continue to face persistently high inflation, interest rates that are being raised at the fastest pace since the 1980s.

I want to thank my friend and colleague, Congressman Dan Meuser, for holding today's Small Business Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax, and Capital Access hearing.

We need to create more competition.

When you have 87,000 IRS agents running around out there----something bad is going to happen.

With these economic headwinds, it is vital that our Tax Code work for our nation's job creators, not against them.

One way we can fix a lot of this is make these tax cuts permanent.

And so the government would have created a job with your money, but with your money you create net worth.

You know, our nation's small businesses continue to face persistently high inflation, interest rates that are being raised at the fastest pace since the 1980s.

Interest is an expense. There is no way you should be paying tax on an expense.
