Taxes are Key
Taxes are how we pay for all the government investments and services we all want—and taxes can be a way to reduce economic inequality and provide incentives for sustainable economic development.
But too often, the business voices that stand out to policy makers and the media are those of super-sized corporations and corporate groups that can afford an intensive echo chamber of lobbyists and PR operations who want to get government subsidies, bailouts and contracts—while paying little or no taxes. That’s why it’s vital for companies like you or your member businesses to speak out in support of better tax policies and show there is a different and better business viewpoint.
See op-ed, “Trickle-down Tax Cuts; a Broken Record” and the letter to the SuperCommittee that ASBC signed recently and the press release announcing it. The next two months will be crucial if we have any hope of having tax policy changes in a direction that supports smaller and sustainable businesses.
