Gingrey: TAXES
Thanks to the tax relief Congress passed in 2001 and 2003, our economy quickly recovered from its post-September 11th slump. Our economic future is looking bright, too. As job growth continues, more Americans are finding good paying jobs. Small businesses – the backbone of the U.S. economy – are growing. And through lower taxes, Americans are getting to keep more of their hard earned money.
I’m committed to helping continue this economic trend through lower taxes, reducing unnecessary regulation, fostering a flexible and competitive economy, and making our country a good place to do business.
TRADE
I support free and fair trade. With new economic frontiers, we can create new jobs and develop our country’s economy. However, I also believe it is Congress’s responsibility to carefully examine new trade agreements and determine their impact on American businesses and workers.
In past years, American industries have been lured overseas by lower wages and cheaper materials. To keep more of these jobs here in the U.S., Congress needs to help make America an attractive place to do business. This requires Congress to help struggling businesses by lowering taxes to level competition with overseas labor.
If we help business grow and invest in new products, they can better compete in the global marketplace, and will be less likely to take American jobs abroad.
