As a former small business owner herself, Rep.
Myrick understands the challenges facing small businesses.
She believes the government needs to get off the backs of
business owners and let them spend their valuable time and
money
creating jobs- not struggling to comply with excessive and
expensive government regulations.
Below is a list of what Rep. Myrick is
doing to help small businesses.
Better Healthcare
-
Rep. Myrick supports Association Health Plans that will allow small business owners
to link up with other small businesses and offer
competitive health care coverage for their employees.
-
Rep. Myrick supports Health Savings Accounts so
that small business employees can invest money in a tax-free health
care account that will help both small business employees and
employers with heath care flexibility.
-
Rep. Myrick supports making health care
costs 100% tax deductible for small business owners and the
self employed.
-
Rep. Myrick is also fighting for medical
liability reform to protect innocent small businesses from
personal injury lawyers.
Lower Taxes
-
Rep. Myrick has voted to eliminate the
death tax
so small business owners and family farms can be passed on to
the next generation, rather than liquidated to pay the tax
bill.
-
Rep. Myrick voted to lower personal
income taxes. Lowering personal income taxes helped many
small business owners who file a personal return for their
business.
-
Rep. Myrick has voted to lower capital gains taxes as an
incentive for people to take the leap and start their own
business.
Small Business Job
Creation
-
Rep. Myrick voted to increase the
deprecation rates for small businesses, so that the small
business owner would have access to money to reinvest in his
or her business.
-
Rep. Myrick voted for $100,000 in tax incentives
for small businesses so they can reinvest in their companies.
This will help them expand and hire more workers.
-
Rep. Myrick is fighting to make sure free trade is
fair trade. Every country- including China- needs to play by
the same rules so there is a level playing field for American
businesses.
-
Locally, Rep. Myrick helped create an
economic blueprint called Gaston 2012. Now everyone in Gaston
County follows the same plan to create jobs, and this plan is
working.
-
Rep. Myrick has supported the development of a business incubator in
Gaston County so small businesses can pull together resources
to lower their costs. Lower costs and lower taxes mean they
can hire more workers.
-
Rep. Myrick has fought for the Gaston Garden Parkway and the Monroe
By-pass, and helped get these roads funding, because these new roads will
relieve traffic congestion and will attract new jobs.
-
Rep. Myrick has also been the driving
force behind a new idea in the Charlotte area. She has
developed an idea that a defense cluster in our area would
bring in high paying manufacturing jobs.
