Political Quotes

“America's small business owners collectively spend thousands of hours and billions of dollars each year filling out government paperwork. A friend of mine, Kent Winquist, is a small business owner in Virginia Beach and Norfolk. He tells me that every week he must maintain and update tax forms, Social Security forms, immigration forms, health care forms and many other mandatory Federal forms just to comply with Federal regulations, or face stiff penalties. Small business owners like Kent are stuck in back offices filling out forms and meeting Federal deadlines instead of training new employees and expanding their businesses. Federal regulatory agencies will continue to hold back small business from thriving in their communities unless we take action. Mr. Chairman, I believe that less government involvement in our lives will allow us to give more to our communities, our families and our economy. It is time for us to give small businesses back their time so that they continue to be the engine that drives our economy. I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 327, the small business paperwork relief act which will give small business owners more time to invest in their businesses and share with their families.”
