Administration Tax-Cut Rhetoric and Small Businesses

Overview The Bush Administration has consistently asserted that its tax cuts, and especially the reduction in the top income tax rate and repeal of the estate tax, are of great value to small businesses. These assertions have been at the heart of both the Administration's claims regarding the virtues of its tax cuts and its calls to make the tax cuts permanent. An examination of the relevant data demonstrates, however, that the Administration's statements seriously exaggerate the benefits of its tax cuts - and especially of the top-rate reduction and estate tax repeal - to the vast majority of small businesses.
