Selected Quotes from Business Leaders Endorsing Kerry-Edwards
“Responsible leadership should be demanded from the Oval Office even more than it should be expected from the leadership of any well run American company. We should not be running up huge national bills without the foresight to see how we will pay them off, other than by expecting our children and grandchildren to bail us out of debt. John Kerry has good plans to restore fiscal discipline and repair our relationships with the world. His is the kind of leadership that all Americans deserve from the White House.” -- Owsley Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brown-Forman Corporation
"From record deficits to exploding health care costs, the Bush administration's policies have undermined the strength of the American economy and made American businesses less competitive. We need real leadership in the White House that understands the crippling effect health care costs are having on business and most importantly, has a plan to deal with it. That's what John Kerry will be able to do for our nation and that's why I am supporting him for President." -- Jim Sinegal, President and Chief Executive Officer, Costco Wholesale
"The Kerry-Edwards plan for America is exactly what is needed to jumpstart businesses and get America working again. It will lower healthcare costs and cut taxes on corporations and small businesses to strengthen our economy today and invest in education, science and innovation to help us stay competitive in the economy of tomorrow." -- Peter Chernin, President and COO, News Corp.
"We live in a world that is interconnected in so many ways. I have known John Kerry for 20 years, and he understands that we must work cooperatively with other countries if we are to effectively fight terror or systematically encourage the investment in free enterprise around the world." -- Charles K. Gifford, Chairman, Bank of America Corporation

THE KERRY-EDWARDS PLAN TO FOSTER A CLIMATE FOR AMERICA’S BUSINESSES TO CREATE GOOD-PAYING JOBS
John Kerry and John Edwards have an economic plan that understands that America’s businesses are the engine of job creation, economic growth, and the key to rising prosperity for all Americans. Their plan will help restore confidence, improve the competitiveness of American business, and foster long-run growth.
RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN THE ECONOMY AT HOME AND AROUND THE WORLD
• Restore fiscal discipline, pay for all proposals, and cut the deficit in half in four years. George Bush has signed into law or proposed more than $6 trillion of initiatives without ever paying for them. The Kerry-Edwards plan will change this, restoring the successful budget rules of the 1990s. Specifically, John Kerry and John Edwards will pay for all their proposals, restoring the simple PAYGO principle that every family lives by. And they will keep overall spending in check, ensuring that overall discretionary spending – excluding security and education – does not grow any faster than inflation. This plan will cut the deficit in half in four years.
• Make America respected around the world. George Bush has shattered the image of America around the world, greatly damaging the American brand name. This makes it more difficult for America’s businesses to export and develop the relationships they need with local suppliers and other companies. John Kerry and John Edwards will ensure that America is once again respected around the world, once again making American companies and products more attractive around the world.
MAKE AMERICAN BUSINESSES MORE COMPETITIVE
• Cut corporate taxes by 5 percent – while eliminating tax breaks for creating jobs overseas. The Kerry-Edwards plan will end the ability of companies to defer paying taxes on active income earned abroad and use the savings to cut the corporate tax rate by 5 percent – lowering it from 35 percent to 33.25 percent. This will provide a tax cut for more than 99 percent of taxpaying corporations.
• Fight for small businesses – including zero capital gains for start-up investments in small businesses. John Kerry understands small businesses, both as an owner of one and as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. He has fought for legislation to reduce paperwork for small businesses, simplify taxes, and extend credit to small businesses. In addition, he wants to encourage investments in small businesses by eliminating capital gains for long-term investments in small business start-ups.
• Cut the cost of health care. Health premiums have increased more than $2,600 in the last three years, raising costs for businesses and discouraging them from hiring. The Kerry-Edwards health plan will reform the health system to use the latest information

technology, disease management, and a catastrophic reinsurance plan that will cut health premiums by 10 percent. This will lower the cost of health care paid by American businesses, helping them to compete in a global economy.
• Lower the cost of energy and move America towards energy independence. John Kerry supports a comprehensive agenda to advance the use of renewable energy sources and promote more energy-efficient cars and buildings – reducing the pressure over the long run. To immediately relieve the pressure on gas prices he would temporarily suspend filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, would work more effectively to ensure that OPEC increases production, and would enact a simpler and cleaner national fuels strategy. In addition, his success strategy for Iraq would help stabilize the Middle East and reduce the “terror premium” that is raising oil prices by as much as $15 a barrel.
• Implement regulatory reforms that are pro-market and pro-consumer. Too often, the Bush Administration has used regulatory reform to bail out corporations rather than promote true competition. As a result, regulations are standing in the way of efficiency improvements in many industries that would benefit consumers and businesses. As president, John Kerry will implement regulatory reforms that use market-based incentives while protecting the environment and consumers against abuses.
• Enforce America’s trade laws and open key export markets. John Kerry and John Edwards recognize that one out of five American manufacturing jobs are in exporting and that exporting jobs pay higher than average wages. They recognize that if you give the American workers and businesses a level playing field, they can compete and win in the global economy. They will enforce our trade agreements and domestic trade laws, while fighting to open key export markets in places like Japan and Korea.
• Ensure that the legal system works for America. John Kerry and John Edwards recognize that our legal system should establish the rules and incentives that are needed for the economy to function – without wasting time or money. Our courts play a central role in making sure that even the most vulnerable people have protections. At the same time, there is no question that frivolous malpractice lawsuits and class actions waste time and money. That is wrong, and John Kerry and John Edwards support reforms that prevent and punish these abuses – while at the same time preserving the principles of responsibility and fairness that make our system work.
FOSTER LONG-TERM GROWTH
• Invest in research and development. Research and development can result in economic returns far exceeding the benefits for any given company. That’s why it is so essential that the government fund basic research. Yet, under President Bush 21 out of 24 research areas are slated for budget cuts. John Kerry and John Edwards have a plan to invest in cutting edge research and help provide small and large businesses with the tools they need to take the latest ideas to the shop floor and beyond.
• Make broadband universal. Under President Bush, the United States has fallen from 4th in the world to 10th in the world in broadband penetration. John Kerry believes we

must reverse this trend and regain the lead. As a senator, John Kerry has championed expanded access to broadband, especially to rural and other underserved areas. He has released a detailed technology plan for universal broadband that includes tax credits for broadband in underserved areas and for the next generation of broadband.
• Investments in education. The Kerry-Edwards plan provides tax credits to make four years of college affordable for all Americans. They support plans to improve schools from kindergarten through twelfth grade, get more students into college, and encourage more students, particularly girls and minorities, to study engineering and science – two important drivers of economic growth for all Americans.
