Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy and our country for that matter. If our small businesses are to remain in business, we will continue to create jobs, and better our communities in many ways. To help small businesses survive, and thrive, we need to implement the following:
Lower business tax rates
Encourage businesses to move to Massachusetts, especially in the Greater Taunton area. We have the roads and infrastructure to support much more commercial investment.
Support legislation that will make Massachusetts more business-friendly.
Do not make it harder for small businesses to succeed.
