Pat Toomey on Jobs Republican Jr Senator; previously Representative (PA-15)

Taxes & spending have a chilling effect on creating jobs

Toomey accused Sestak of supporting policies of bigger spending and higher taxes. He argued that such policies are have "a chilling effect on our ability to create jobs." Sestak attacked Toomey's pro-business stance. Pointing to the backdrop of the debate hall, Sestak said, "It says above us in Constitution Hall, 'We the People.' Not, 'We the Corporations'"

Government cannot create jobs, except by cutting taxes

Worse, the current Congress is favoring policies that actually discourage job growth. Instead of encouraging businesses to hire new employees, Washington is threatening new and heavy costs and burdens on businesses. If these policies are enacted, Pennsylvania businesses won't be able to hire new employees and may even be forced to lay off workers to survive.

Instead, the government should be making it less expensive and easier for businesses to hire people. It can do this by cutting taxes and decreasing regulation.

Voted YES on end offshore tax havens and promote small business.
