Madam Speaker, I think we both agree that small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of our economy.
Quite honestly, they are creating jobs. We are seeing growth in the economy. We are seeing tremendous job growth, and it is coming from those small and medium-sized businesses in our communities. I have not had one business in my community ask for the small business tax cut to be made.
What I have seen them ask for are the kinds of things our government is doing around innovation and clean technology. They want consumers to have more money, which our tax cut allows, so they can go out and buy their products, whether they are buying gelato or going out for dinner or spending money in their community.
Those are the things they want. They want residents to have the money and to be able to spend it, so they can grow their businesses in the community.
