Pence - 'Raising taxes on job creators won't create jobs'

Pence: "Raising taxes on job creators won't create jobs"

SEPTEMBER 15, 2010

Washington, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, gave the following statement today at a GOP Leadership press conference:

“Over the past six weeks I traveled all across the state of Indiana. I met with small business owners, family farmers, working families, and it's clear the economic policies of this administration have failed. What I heard over and over again from everyday Hoosiers was that the policies of this administration have paralyzed small businesses in this country.

“Whether it be out of control spending, government mandated healthcare, the threat of a national energy tax, cap and trade, the possibility of tax increases in January, all of these policies are creating a paralysis in small business like really I've never seen in my lifetime.

“And no single policy is having a greater effect on hindering job creation than the possibility of a tax increase in January.

“Higher taxes won't get anybody hired. Raising taxes on job creators won't create jobs. And House Republicans will stand united to oppose any tax increase on any American in January.”
