SMALL BUSINESSES AND TAXES

The US Chamber of Commerce commissioned Harris to do an online survey of small business (a company with fewer than 500 employees and annual revenue less than $25 M) executives and one result stood out for me:

And, the priority of small business owners is to create a less complicated system – 56% say the priority should be making the tax code less complex. That is more than twice the number who say tax rates should be lowered (22%).

FAUX News and the conservative radio gasbags always tell us that taxes are killing the small businessmen but that doesn't show up in this poll.
