Senator Judd Gregg on Obama's Plan: We Need Tax Cuts For Small Businesses And Entrepreneurs
As it searches for a new identity, can the GOP recast itself as the party of the little entrepreneur rather than the party of big business?
Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire takes a swing:
Most jobs are not created by big business or by the government (although the government has certainly added a lot of people in the last eight years). Most jobs in America are created by entrepreneurs who start or expand small businesses. So cut their taxes first, and then throw in a tax cut for working Americans so they can weather this storm a little better. This is a Republican idea that was actually proven to work, so we give it to President Obama and his team and say gracefully, "Here, take it. Call it your own. We will not argue. Just do it so we can get this country going again."
Is this just the same old "trickle-down economics" that Republicans have been repeating for years? Or is this a bipartisan idea that moderate Obama Democrats could get behind?
