We need an American Competitiveness agenda. We need government that enables business in addition to regulating it. We need government that recognizes they don’t create jobs (unless they spend our money) but importantly they can create an environment where jobs can be created. We need government that pulls together rather than pulls apart, reveling in their discordant pluralism. We need to recognize it’s important to train for the economic Olympics now and not just brag about how we won it twenty years ago. And we need to start now.
Tax and fiscal policy have a profound impact on U.S. business investment, economic growth and job creation. Business Roundtable supports competitive, pro-growth tax and fiscal policies to promote economic expansion, level the playing field for U.S. companies competing in global markets and stabilize the federal debt relative to the size of the U.S. economy.
