Letter to the editor: Van Orden stands up for small businesses

To the editor,

As a small business owner, I’m especially glad to see the 20% small business tax deduction made permanent. That deduction matters, and it matters a lot. It means small businesses like mine can keep more of what they earn and reinvest those dollars back into growing their business and supporting the local economy.

Without action from Congressman Van Orden, this deduction would have expired, and many small businesses in Wisconsin would have been hit with tax increases. Small businesses are the backbone of Wisconsin’s economy, and this deduction helps make sure businesses like mine can continue to grow and thrive.

I appreciate Congressman Van Orden standing up for Wisconsin small businesses. This kind of common-sense tax relief makes a real difference for business owners, employees, and communities across our state
