Policy Perspectives

America faces great challenges that we will meet only by working together. The CEOs of Business Roundtable stand ready to work with policymakers on both sides of the aisle to promote a thriving U.S. economy and expanded opportunity for all Americans. 

Business Roundtable CEOs lead companies that support 37 million American jobs and almost a quarter of U.S. GDP. Our CEO members support policies to preserve a competitive corporate tax system, defend rules-based trade, advance sound regulation, and help American workers develop skills for a rapidly changing economy.

Business Roundtable CEOs will continue to work closely with policymakers at all levels of government to defeat COVID-19, create American jobs and restore U.S. economic growth and competitiveness.  

We believe the Biden Administration and Congress can support long-term economic growth and create more opportunity for all Americans by:

  • Defeating COVID-19
  • Investing in our nation’s infrastructure
  • Modernizing the U.S. immigration system
  • Improving worker training and education
  • Maintaining a competitive tax environment that enables economic recovery
  • Ensuring American companies and workers are able to grow through exports and trade on a level playing field around the world
  • Making meaningful progress on big issues like climate change and racial equity and justice, including policing reform

MAINTAINING A COMPETITIVE TAX ENVIRONMENT

America’s businesses and workers have a tax system that helps them compete and win. It is making a meaningful difference for American workers, families and communities – which is why it should be preserved.
