    The President calls for nearly $5 in tax increases for every $1 of spending cuts. Does this look like a balanced approach? http://1.usa.gov/Yr5juu

    According to the National Federation of Independent Business, "The expiration of current individual tax rates is particularly important to small businesses because 75 percent of them are organized as pass-through entities that pay taxes at ...
    the individual rate. …Raising taxes on small businesses, especially in the current economic environment, stifles their ability to grow and create jobs."

    Time is running short, and, frankly, we don’t have time to waste on offers that are going nowhere. Speaker Boehner, on the very first day after the election, took the responsible approach and offered a compromise that included tax revenues...
    in exchange for entitlement reforms. Unfortunately, the President has only responded with his same old demand that we raise taxes on nearly 1 million small businesses. Raising taxes will not create jobs. Tax reform, however, will not only create jobs but it can produce more revenues – something the President wants. I urge the President to begin serious and substantive negotiations with Congress. We are ready.

    Many pundits in Washington believe the number one problem facing the country is the deficit, but my constituents believe the number one problem facing them and their families is a lack of good jobs. We must address the jobs crisis and focus on tax reform that strengthens the economy. http://1.usa.gov/VTBRGt
