NFIB: Congressional Tax Proposals Would Harm Small Businesses (09/28/2021)
Writing in USA Today (9/21), NFIB President Brad Close said that tax increases as envisioned in the US House of Representatives tax proposal would negatively affect small businesses. Close wrote, “If these tax hikes and mandates go through, the damage will be severe and long-lasting. The country may recover in time, but countless small businesses won’t live to see it. It wasn’t just wrong to roll out these tax hikes and mandates around Small Business Week. It’s wrong to consider them anytime. And it’s right to defeat them – immediately and permanently.”
NFIB California State Director John Kabateck wrote in the Capitol (CA) Weekly (9/22, Howard) about the proposal, saying, “It’s like pulling a life raft away from a struggling swimmer. Congress wouldn’t look at what it’s doing to small businesses that way, but that is what it will do if it carries through on some harmful proposals being considered.”
