During a recent hearing of the Ways and Means Committee, job creators from across the country shared the challenges their businesses face under the current tax code.  Witnesses expressed support for approaches proposed in the Republicans’ Jobs Agenda which calls for lower tax rates, more certainty and greater simplicity. They urged Congress to take action to make America a more attractive place to invest and create the jobs we need here at home. Witnesses also highlighted the need to help job creators of all sizes and cautioned against attempts to replicate tax systems that would hurt, rather than help spur economic growth and new jobs.
