Has Trump ever owned a “small” business? I thought he was the expert of yuge and that small was beneath him. The big boys like high tax rates with plenty of deductions, because they can afford lobbyists to get ‘their’ deductions and accountants use them. Low tax rates without deductions remove their advantage. Low flat rates with minimal, if any, deductions favor the intrinsically more efficient business, which often is a smaller one. The big boys also like more regulations as they can spread the compliance costs more widely and gain competitive advantage. Small businesses, like mine, are being hammered by the regulations. Cruz gets this and talks about it. Why would Trump get this? He just pays off the politicians to get his way.
If you are a small business guy Trump’s tax plan will be favorable to you. Apparently you don’t listen to Trump because he has said ad nauseum that he is going to roll all these regulations back.
