Pro-Business? Research Shows GOP “Pro-Business” Policies Hurt Business, Kill Economic Growth

"We hear it all the time, republicans are “Pro-business.” They promise if they’re elected, they’ll pass “business friendly” legislation. They claim that their policies will lead to economic growth and job creation. It’s time for a reality check. An analysis of all 50 states clearly shows the negative correlation between the GOP’s ‘pro-business’ policies and job creation and economic growth. In fact, the study shows that the more ALEC backed ‘pro-business’ legislation a state has in place, the worse that state performs, economically.
Two separate studies confirm that the higher a state ranks on the GOP ‘business friendly’ policy charts, the worse it performs economically."
