Issue Position: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

Issue Position

The rise of unemployment is a direct result of the Obama administration's out-of-control spending, massive deficits and strident anti-business agenda. While Randy does not believe that government creates jobs, he knows that it can destroy jobs through uncertainty, out-of-control spending, high taxes and burdensome regulations.

We must continue to work to end this uncertainty facing our small business owners so that they thrive once again.

Fix the Broken Tax Code
When tax attorneys with decades of experience don't understand our tax code, it's clear that the system is broken. Randy believes we should clean up our tax code by making it flatter, fairer and remove loopholes to create an environment where businesses can thrive and focus on growing and creating jobs.

Stop Job-Crushing Regulations
The American entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well, but government, especially the federal government, is constantly attacking the business community. Randy has fought to end stifling job-killing regulations, such as the administration's attempts to regulate dust on farms and treat a milk spill like an oil spill.

Randy supports legislation to require congressional review and approval of any proposed government regulation that would increase the cost of doing business in America.

Increase Exports
Illinois is a leading export state, but because of high taxes, government regulations and the liberal agenda to oppose trade treaties, we are quickly losing our edge. Randy supports a strong, pro-trade agenda.
