Teamwork in Washington?

President Obama proposed a new economic stimulus program including a call for the complete elimination of capital gains taxes on small businesses and a new tax credit for businesses that add or keep employees. Many Republicans encouraged him to take the same action in the first stimulus package. Capital fuels business growth and removing this burden from small businesses frees them to create new ventures and to move into new markets. The President this week also invited House Republican Leadership for a meeting at the White House to work together on a jobs plan.
