Liberal’s Attack on Small Business

On July 18th, sweeping fundamental changes to tax legislation surrounding small business, corporations and professionals were announced that will be finalized later in the year.  Our economy that is fueled by entrepreneurs, risk-takers and innovation is under attack.
