You know, I saw the word "me" at the end of the article's title, and immediately thought it was she who the left holds in absolute contempt.

Misinformation is currently circulating in the media about how the Senate’s recently passed tax reform will affect ordinary Americans and small businesses.

Entrepreneurship author Rhonda Abrams recently wrote in a USA Today article that the tax reform bill is contributing to “a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad month for small businesses.” The New York Times editorial board says the bill will “take money from the middle class and give it to the wealthiest people in the world.”


As a small business owner, all I can say is, what tax reform bill are they looking at? I can personally attest to the significant relief it will offer to small business owners and ordinary American workers like myself.

As a pediatric speech pathologist, I developed a series of treatment tools for children and adults, known as “Chewy Tubes.” And my line of developmental baby teethers, made in the USA, helps parents around the globe to get little mouths off to a healthy start.

I started my company on my back porch. The pending tax reform bill could take it to Main Street.

Curiously enough, one headline provision included in the bill has barely been reported on. This bill creates a new 20 percent small business deduction. In other words, for a business with $200,000 a year in annual earnings, $40,000 would be completely tax free. This provision helps smaller businesses to better compete against big business and international competitors, who currently face lower tax burdens than most small businesses.

I currently employ five people. This tax cut would allow me to provide bonuses for current employees, hire more employees, expand my workspace, and purchase inventory.
