The federal government does not exist to create jobs. In fact, every new job it does "create" is paid for by American taxpayers. What Washington should be doing is cutting taxes and limiting harmful regulations. If that happens, businesses -- especially small businesses -- will once again begin to expand, hire and thrive.

As Chairman of the House Small Business Committee, I have made job creation one of my top priorities. America's small businesses create 70% of all new jobs. Removing that uncertainty that fear of increased taxes and regulation introduce into the economy is the key to ending this recession and begging the recovery.
