Small Businesses Need a Fair Tax System
With an impending tax showdown at the federal level, Communications and Policy Director Michael Chameides makes the case in Barn Raiser for improving our taxes so that small businesses can bolster their rural communities.
Instead of giving lavish tax breaks to big corporations and the ultra-wealthy, he argues, we should prioritize policy that enables local business owners to hire staff and provide goods and services to our nation's rural communities and small towns. His analysis highlights the work of grantees like Small Business Majority and Main Street Alliance, who are advocating for fair tax reform.
“Small businesses knit together the social and economic fabric of many rural areas,” Michael writes, “by offering employment opportunities, generating wealth that stays within the community and fostering local leadership.”
