Business Roundtable Urges Reforms That Will Boost Competitiveness and Drive Increased Business Investment, Economic Growth and Job Creation

Washington – In comments delivered last Friday to the Senate Finance Committee, Business Roundtable urged Congress to enact tax reform that will help make all U.S. businesses more competitive while expressing serious concerns about the Finance Committee staff discussion draft proposals.

“Tax reform is the best and fastest way to drive increased business investment, jumpstart economic growth and put America back to work,” said John Engler, President of Business Roundtable. “America’s business leaders commend Senator Baucus for his leadership on championing tax reform. We have concerns about some aspects of the discussion draft proposals but we look forward to working with the tax-writing committees on business tax reform that will result in increased competitiveness for American businesses and growth to the U.S. economy.”
