Bob Corker on Corporations

Republican Jr Senator


Reduce burden of taxation, litigation, and regulation

As Senator, I will work to ensure that government works with entrepreneurs and businesses, rather than against them. By reducing the burden of taxation, litigation, and regulation, American entrepreneurs will be better able to create exciting new businesses and good-paying jobs. I will use my experience to identify and remove unreasonable government regulation on small business because I know how it impedes job creation.
