Obama Urges Congress to Reward Companies That Keep Jobs in U.S.

President Barack Obama urged Congress to enact tax proposals that reward technology companies and other businesses that help create jobs in the U.S. rather than overseas.

Boeing Co., whose Everett, Washington, jet factory Obama visited yesterday, has “put thousands of folks to work all over the country,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. “We want to see more of this. We need to make it as easy as we can for our companies to create more jobs in America. And that starts with our tax code.”
