Last week, eBay, Inc. congratulated Congressman Allen West (FL-22) for the introduction of H.R. 1663, the Small Business Encouragement Act, which temporarily provides the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to American small businesses hiring unemployed workers.  H.R. 1663 not only encourages small business growth and development, but it also addresses our country’s high unemployment problem.  Congressman West, who was also one of the original cosponsors of H.Res 95, has consistently championed small business issues in the 112th Congress.  eBay applauds Congressman West’s dedication and leadership to protecting and empowering America’s small businesses and looks forward to working with the Congressman in the future on such important issues.  Read eBay’s thank you letter to Congressman West.
