Alfredo Ortiz, president and CEO of small business advocacy group Job Creators Network, told Axios he was disappointed by the National Federation of Independent Business's disapproval of the House's tax reform plan released yesterday. He said it "became the headline" for small businesses' response to the tax plan, and that the inclusion of a small business tax rate within the code is a big win.
Why it matters: JCN, which has been funded by companies who advocate for low corporate taxes, led a multi-million campaign pushing for tax policies that benefit small businesses. There are improvements that Ortiz thinks could be made, but overall he believes the plan is a big step in the right direction.
