Jo Holt Campaign Corner: What Does “Pro-Business” Really
Mean?
WHAT DO MOST small business owners identify as their biggest challenge in today’s post-recession economy? They have too few customers with too little buying power. Our legislature’s response to this situation has been deep cuts in public education and healthcare and increased spending on numerous tax incentives for specific businesses. Both of these tactics are damaging to our state. An effective “pro-business” approach begins with a solid public school system, quality healthcare, renewable energy, and a diversified revenue base that attracts and maintains businesses. Cuts to critical infrastructure, like public education, roads, and children’s healthcare, are tantamount to placing an additional tax burden on the middle class, because each of these cuts comes with costs. And that’s even more money out of the pockets of the middle class and our small businesses.
Support Arizona’s schools and you
support local businesses as well.
