81% of small businesses believe the capital gains tax loophole should be closed.

Small Businesses across America have spoken – and they’re saying tax the rich!  According to a new poll conducted by several business organizations including the Small Business Majority and the Main Street Alliance – a majority of small businesses believe millionaires aren’t paying their fair share in taxes and that the Bush tax cuts should be repealed for anyone making over $250,000 bucks a year.

A whopping 81% of small businesses believe the capital gains tax loophole that allows Mitt Romney and Paris Hilton to pay a lower tax rate than the middle class should be closed.  When it comes to the business world – small businesses are like the middle class – and they too are getting eaten up by mind-bogglingly rich, and massive transnational corporations that are taking over our local main streets across America. Thanks in large part to unfair tax laws.  Before claiming that raising taxes on the rich will hurt small business most – maybe Republicans should ACTUALLY ask small businesses what they think first.
