SBE Council Releases Small Business Survival Index
Keating continued, "Elected officials have a clear choice. They can expand government, tax too much, and over regulate, and thereby restrain entrepreneurship, small businesses and the economy. Or, they can provide a climate of low taxes, reasonable regulation, and limited government spending, which is critical for economic, income, and employment growth. Unfortunately, as illustrated by the 'Small Business Survival Index,' too many elected officials just don't get it, and impose costly policies that chase away entrepreneurs, businesses, capital and jobs."
Keating added: "But policy leadership is being provided in the states that rank best on the Index. For example, some of the top states don't just keep income and capital gains tax low, they do not even impose such taxes. That's bold policymaking and good news for entrepreneurs, small businesses and investors."
