The Real GOP Agenda: Shipping American Jobs Overseas & Opposing Small Businesses

The rhetoric of House Republicans is that they have been working to help create small business jobs and save American jobs, yet their record has been the opposite. ...

~snip~

The truth about the Congressional Republican agenda is that it is designed to save jobs overseas, not here at home. On Thursday, House Republicans will likely again oppose the Small Business Lending and Jobs Bill, adding to their long record of voting against American workers and small businesses. (Note: The small-business bill passed Congress on largely party-line votes. Only one Republican, Rep. Walter B. Jones of North Carolina, voted for the bill Thursday. In the Senate, two Republicans, Sen. George LeMieux of Florida and Sen. George V. Voinovich of Ohio, both of whom are retiring this year, joined Democrats in passing the bill last week. ~Emit)

This Congress, House Republicans have voted:

AGAINST the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act ... 99% of House Republicans voted no.

AGAINST the Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act ... 99% of House Republicans voted no.

AGAINST the Small Business Tax Relief Act ... 99% of House Republicans voted no.

AGAINST the Small Business and Infrastructure Jobs Act ... 98% of House Republicans voted no.

AGAINST the HIRE Act ... 97% of House Republicans voted no.

AGAINST providing $40 Billion in Tax Credits for Small Businesses ... 100% of House Republicans voted no.

AGAINST spurring Small Business Investment ... 100% of House Republicans voted no.

AGAINST spurring Small Business Investment ... 100% of House Republicans voted no.

AGAINST reducing Small Business Estimated Tax Payments ... 100% of House Republicans voted no.

AGAINST providing Tax Relief ... 100% of House Republicans voted no.

Instead of moving forward with real solutions for the American people, Congressional Republicans are focusing on their political future, doing the bidding of special interest lobbyists, and going back to the exact same policies that got us into this mess.
