Eric Cantor's Remarks On House Repeal of 3% Withholding Rule VIDEO
2011-10-28 02:48:00 It is clear that many businesses across this country are feeling the ill effect of the regulatory and tax burdens placed upon them by continued policies coming out of Washington and this Administration. Small businesses in particular, the backbone of our economy, face a cloud of uncertainty. This uncertainty prevents these entrepreneurs from taking a risk, from starting a business, and creating jobs. But, House Republicans want to work with our colleagues across the aisle and we want to help empower these small business men and women to once again begin the engine that drives our economy. This is the focus of the House Republican Plan for America?s Job Creators. This is about jobs.There are some who repeatedly claim that they want to vote on a jobs bill. Well, we passed one yesterday on a bipartisan basis. And today they will have another chance and we will pass another. Currently, the House has passed 16 bills focused on job creation that are sitting idly in the U.S. Senate. The Pr... More About: Video

2011-10-22 14:59:00 Richard Burr Republican Weekly Address TEXT VIDEO 10/22/11Good morning. I'm Senator Richard Burr from North Carolina, and I'm honored to speak with you today.For 32 straight months now, unemployment in this country has been over 8%. Thirty-two months -- that's a national record. It's also a clear indictment of the way we've handled the 23 million Americans looking for full-time employment.Some in Washington, including the President, are suggesting that we simply spend more money. We've already tried that - it did not spur job growth then, and it won't now.The American people realize that this is not about how much money Washington can spend. It's about getting government out of the way and creating the climate for growth and jobs.This means listening to the American people and passing common-sense legislation that makes the rules that govern job-creating investments more predictable. Businesses are not going to hire if they can't anticipate what new tax or federal regulatio... More About: Video , Text
