If there's anything small businesses would criticize in George W. Bush's tax plan, it's that it doesn't go far enough. At least that's how one small business group sees it. At least that gets us back to where we were 12 years ago. Bush's death-tax plan is a good idea, but we think it could be eliminated upfront or in a much shorter time frame.
Same thing goes for the capital-gains tax cut.
Keating recently ran some numbers on Bush's plan and the current state of the economy. With that much money lying around, the federal government is sure to find something to spend it on, says Keating. That's why the SBSC wants to see Bush take a more aggressive approach to cutting taxes. Criticisms of the Bush plan say that it would increase inflation and interest rates, favor the rich, and make for an overall risky economic situation. Keating, of course, says these concerns are baseless.
