Jim Renacci on Corporations

 

 


2010 bailout closed my car dealership; Feds shouldn't pick

This is Renacci's first statewide election, but he has waged several smaller campaigns successfully before. An accountant, businessman and former Wadsworth mayor, he won his first campaign for Congress in 2010 after losing his Chevrolet dealership in the auto industry bailout that President Barack Obama's administration orchestrated. The bailout required industry consolidation and dealership closings -- and General Motors picked Renacci's dealership to close.

Democrats and industry analysts said the restructuring saved the American auto industry. Critics including Renacci said it put the government in the role of central planner, picking winners and losers. Unlike in other recent Brown races, Renacci's business background provides a real-world contrast for the coming general election.

Reduce the corporate tax rate to 25%, and individuals too

We should be doing everything we can to advance solutions that will grow our stagnant economy. We currently have the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, which has led to more jobs overseas and fewer here at home. We need to reduce the corporate tax rate to 25 percent, which will lead to the creation of more jobs & increased global competitiveness. We need to reduce rates and consolidate today's individual brackets to ensure that taxpayers face maximum rates of 25 percent or lower.

Voted YES on workforce training by state block grants & industry partners.

Congressional Summary: Opponent's Argument for voting No:
    National League of Cities op-ed, "H.R. 803 fails because it would:"
  1. Undermine the local delivery system that has been the cornerstone of job training programs
  2. Establish a program that is based on political boundaries (states) rather than on economic regions and local labor markets, or the naturally evolving areas in which workers find paying work
  3. Eliminate a strong role for local elected officials but require that they continue to be fiscally liable for funds spent in their local areas
  4. Change what was once a program targeted to those most in need--economically disadvantaged adults and youth and special population groups like veterans, migrant farm workers, and low income seniors--into a block grant to governors
  5. Contribute to the emerging division between those American's who have the requisite skills to find employment and those who do not.

Repeal ObamaCare reporting requirements for small business.

Renacci co-sponsored Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act

A BILL To repeal the expansion of information reporting requirements for payments of $600 or more to corporations. Section 9006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the amendments made thereby, are hereby repealed; and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall be applied as if such section, and amendments, had never been enacted. [This is the first attempt at dismantling ObamaCare by pieces, as opposed to H.R. 2 which dismantles ObamaCare in whole. The proposed section of the ObamaCare law to be repealed appears below. --OnTheIssues editor].
