Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (MO-4) is calling for the easing of burdensome government regulations that are standing in the way of private sector job creation and economic growth. Hartzler spoke to business leaders today in Jefferson City at a Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry symposium, making it clear she stands with them in their desire to prosper.
“As a small business owner I am fully aware of the time-consuming and costly regulations that government forces on our nation's job creators," said Hartzler. "Adding reams of government red tape will not solve our economic and unemployment problems in this country. We must let the private sector do what it does best – create wealth and prosperity. Onerous government rules and regulations impede private-sector job creation, discourage innovation and entrepreneurial activity, and hurt economic growth and investment by needlessly raising prices."
“These regulations also force businesses to spend time and energy doing paperwork to satisfy the demands of bureaucrats,” added Hartzler. “These federal regulations increase the cost of doing business and destroy jobs. We are fighting back, doing what is necessary to make it less costly for American companies to conduct business.”
The U.S. House recently voted overwhelmingly to pass a resolution which is a critical first step in removing burdensome regulations and red tape harming both large and small employers. In addition, Congresswoman Hartzler has co-sponsored several bills designed to ease the burdens on business. They include legislation to repeal job-destroying ObamaCare, the Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act to do away with unnecessary 1099 form reporting, and legislation to repeal both the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax.

Hartzler- Free businesses; get rid of burdensome government regulations
Businesses are being held back by the government, Fourth District Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler said at a Chamber of Commerce meeting in Jefferson City today. From the news release:
How about businesses creating good paying jobs first and guaranteeing that they stay in the US and then we make some economic concessions?
ReplyDeleteWell Catherine, companies like Wal-Mart have driven the manufacturers of goods they sell to us off-shore.
ReplyDeleteGood paying jobs in America, formerly in the consumer goods segement, have gone to Pacific rim countries where people work for $10 per day, if they are lucky.
We can thank Bill Clinton for laying down to the wishes of Wal-Mart and allowing that to happen.
One the one hand I agree that it is a shame that seemingly everything we buy is made where there is cheap labor...
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, raise your hand if you like $20 coffee makers instead of $200 dollar coffee makers and $10 shirts instead of $40 shirts. We are all guilty.
We all want the manufacturing jobs to come back but none of us want to pay the money it would cost to bring them back, and it is a vicious cycle.
In dealing with this she should not talk generalities. Give specifics, what regulations are stopping job creation. Deal with specifics and get off the political jargon of what is bad. Lead, don't just talk and complain.
ReplyDeleteHer whole public service career has been one of political jargon.
ReplyDeleteFree Gov. from agri. subsidies...the Hartzlers have received over a million dollars in subsidies,which she in turn she uses to get elected...Vickie I hear Libya needs a new dictator,the way you use the peoples money and spew propaganda...just sayin.
