Small Business Majority is a national nonprofit organization of business entrepreneurs working to ensure prosperity in the 21st century economy by building a politically aware and active community of small business leaders.
The backbone of the American economy, 25 million small businesses make up 52% of private sector workforce. Small business creates 75% of all new jobs and anchors our communities. It's time that we recognize our importance to America's future and exercise our majority status. Our voice needs to be heard in government.
Small business owners must demand a level playing field: |
 |
Health Care: While small businesses are forced to pay skyrocketing premiums, our government offers only band-aids and empty promises. We need to address this crisis now. |
|
|
|
 |
Recent changes to our federal tax structure have hurt small business. The tax burden is squarely on the shoulder of small business while big business gets all the breaks. This must stop now. |
|
|
|
 |
Access to Capital: Small business generates 14 times more patents than big businesss, creating the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. Yet the government has made it very difficult for small business to gain access to financial services. We must not deprive America's economic engine of investment resources. |
|
|
|
 |
Innovation and Technology: For America to remain competitive in a global economy, we must encourage small business entrepreneurship and technological innovation. The government has failed to support technology infrastructure and critical 21st century industries. It's time to invest at home. |
