1、【美国总统电台演说】 2010-10-16After a decade of hardship for middle class families, and a recession that wiped away millions of jobs, we are in the middle of a tough fight to rebuild this economy and put folks back to work. Winning this fight will not depend on government alone. It will depend on the innovat
2、ion of American entrepreneurs; on the drive of American small business owners; on the skills and talents of American workers. These are the people who will help us grow our economy and create jobs. But government still has an important responsibility. And thats to create an environment in which some
3、one can raise capital to start a new company; where a business can get a loan to expand; where ingenuity is prized and folks are rewarded for their hard work.Thats why I fought so hard to pass a jobs bill to cut taxes and make more loans available for entrepreneurs. It eliminated the capital gains t
4、axes for key investments in small businesses. It increased the deduction to defray the costs of starting a company. And its freeing up credit for folks who need it. In fact, in just the first two weeks since I signed the bill, thousands of business owners have been able to get new loans through the
5、SBA. But we need to do more. So Ive proposed additional steps to grow the economy and spur hiring by businesses across America. Now, one of the keys to job creation is to encourage companies to invest more in the United States. But for years, our tax code has actually given billions of dollars in ta
6、x breaks that encourage companies to create jobs and profits in other countries. I want to close these tax loopholes. Instead, I want to give every business in America a tax break so they can write off the cost of all new equipment they buy next year. Thats going to make it easier for folks to expan
7、d and hire new people. I also want to make the research and experimentation tax credit permanent. Because promoting new ideas and technologies is how well create jobs and retain our edge as the worlds engine of discovery and innovation. And I want to provide a tax cut for clean energy manufacturing
8、right here in America. Because thats how well lead the world in this growing industry. These are commonsense ideas. When more things are made in America, more families make it in America; more jobs are created in America; more businesses thrive in America. But Republicans in Washington have consiste
9、ntly fought to keep these corporate loopholes open. Over the last four years alone, Republicans in the House voted 11 times to continue rewarding corporations that create jobs and profits overseas a policy that costs taxpayers billions of dollars every year. That doesnt make a lot sense. It doesnt m
10、ake sense for American workers, American businesses, or Americas economy. A lot of companies that do business internationally make an important contribution to our economy here at home. Thats a good thing. But there is no reason why our tax code should actively reward them for creating jobs overseas
11、. Instead, we should be using our tax dollars to reward companies that create jobs and businesses within our borders. We should give tax breaks to American small businesses and manufacturers. We should reward the people who are helping us lead in the industries of the future, like clean energy. Thats how well ensure that American innovation and ingenuity are what drive the next century. Thats how well put our people back to work and lead the global economy. And thats what Ill be fighting for in the coming months.Thank you.
