Small Business Sector Lauds Tax Compromise

WASHINGTON - Kristie Arslan, Executive Director of the National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE), released the following statement on the compromise between President Obama and Congressional leaders on extending the Bush-era tax cuts, leading the way for economic relief for the small business community and the middle-class:

“The compromise between President Bush and Congressional leaders on extending the Bush-era tax cuts is a win for the small business community,” said Arslan. “During this time of economic uncertainty, small business owners need this economic relief for their very survival. Over 23 million individual small business owners will now be able to keep their businesses on a path to recovery without the threat of closing their doors due to a big tax bill in April. NASE applauds President Obama and Congressional leaders for working in a bipartisan way for America’s middle-class.”
