I had a unique opportunity to hear Congr
essman Adam Kinzinger speak this
past week in Joliet, Ill. at a Joliet Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
The young Congressman reminded the audience that the most important thing
Congress can do is to get out of the way of business owners.
"My job is to make you think less of my job," Kinzinger said.
He feels that Congress often gets in the way of businesses and prevents them
from doing business.
"The role of the federal government is to protect you, provide
infrastructure and stay out of your life," the 11th District
Congressman said.
As part of Kinzinger's suggestions for improving the economy he feels that
companies should be able to bring money back to the United States that is
currently invested overseas without taxation.
"I don't know if it should be a one day holiday or for a certain time
period, but we have to allow companies to bring back that money (without being
taxed)."
Kinzinger mentioned several times about how personal the attacks from others
in Washington has become.
Congress certainly has its work cut out for them with unemployment rates at
or mover than double digits, finding a solution to a major debt crisis, and
finding solutions to expiring taxes including the 18.4 cent a gallon gasoline
tax.
The Congressman also pointed out that Illinois has much work to do on making
its environment more business friendly.
"It is beyond just an idea that businesses are going to leave Illinois, now
they are talking about it," Kinzinger said. "They are leaving and going to
Indiana (a similar state) with a business friendly climate."
