U.S. President Barack Obama again urged Congress to send him legislation that includes tax breaks and other incentives to help small businesses grow and create jobs. The legislation would eliminate capital-gains taxes for investments in such companies and encourage people to open businesses by offering tax relief to small start-up firms. Obama, speaking at a White House event with small-business owners, said his administration is constantly hearing from small businesses that want to keep the workers they have and hire more employees but are having trouble obtaining credit.
