Jim Bridenstine on Tax Reform |
A: No.
Q: Do you support the temporary extension of unemployment benefits?
A: No.
Q: Do you support the 2010 temporary extension of tax relief?
A: Yes. Private capital investment drives economic growth and job creation. Free markets weed out businesses the public is unwilling to support but money-losing, government-supported businesses can and do persist indefinitely. The federal government has nothing at risk when it "invests" tax payer money. When offering subsidies, tax incentives and loan guarantees the government inappropriately chooses winners and losers. The Obama Administration's economic policies have inhibited recovery from the recession that began in 2007. I support extension of the 2010 tax relief and making the tax cuts permanent because high taxes inhibit economic growth and job creation.
