ICYMI: NEW ANALYSIS SHOWS SMALL BUSINESSES WILL BENEFIT FROM THE BUILD BACK BETTER AGENDA

Washington, D.C. — Today, the Treasury Department and the National Economic Council issued an analysis showing that the President’s Build Back Better agenda will protect 97% of small businesses owners from any increases in their income tax rate while also delivering tax cuts to nearly 4 million entrepreneurs nationwide. 

The President’s plans will reform the tax code so that it no longer disproportionately benefits multinational corporations and prevents entrepreneurs from getting the capital they need to grow. By reforming our tax system so that it’s fairer for Main Street, the President’s plans will make investments in small businesses, create jobs, and grow our economy.
