How Would You Get the Government to Help American Business?
By Joel Stonington and Venessa Wong on September 15, 2011
Bernie Marcus
What he does: Co-founder of Home Depot; founding member, Job Creators Alliance
Where: Atlanta
“Washington is a big part of why our economy is struggling to recover. There's too much uncertainty about what kind of new rules, mandates, or taxes might be around the corner for business. Instead, the federal government should encourage individuals to take risks and invest by committing to lower, more stable tax rates and putting a freeze on any new regulations. The uncertainty of the government’s actions is most certainly causing the job picture to look bleak.”
