Poll: Small Business Owners Say Big Businesses, Millionaires Not Paying Fair Share of Taxes
Small business owners see corporate tax loopholes and accounting gimmicks used to shift U.S. profits offshore to avoid taxes as serious problems, according to independent nationwide opinion polling released on February 6. Small business owners say big corporations and the wealthy don’t pay their fair share of taxes.
