As a small business owner, I am afraid that the 2014 “Health
Insurance Tax” will have a devastating impact on local companies,
especially in a community like mine. We need to stop this unfair tax
before it goes into effect. Many of us are already stretched to the
limit, and if our companies have to absorb the costs associated with
this new tax, there may be no other option but to pass them on to our
customers and/or employees.
Our business puts a lot of money back
into our community. It may be hard to do when times get tough, but we
give money in every direction when there is an organization in need.
Small business owners care about their local communities and support
them because it is just the right thing to do. Our government needs to
support our efforts to stay in business so that we can keep doing that.
You cannot contribute money if you are battling the checkbook just to
stay alive. This Health Insurance Tax is just going to be another slap
in the face for small business owners and our local communities.
I was born and raised here in North Dakota, and I want what is the
best for our state and the entire country. We need our members of
Congress to support the proposed Jobs and Premium Protection Act. This
bill seeks to repeal the Health Insurance Tax. We need to see that
happen before the damage is done.
