Mitt Romney claims that getting rid of the Bush tax cuts, that provide cuts for the richest people, would hurt mom-and-pop companies that are taxed on their profits as individuals. The Nation Federation of Independent Businesses, a small business advocacy group that claims to be nonpartisan, supports this claim and is lobbying for continuation of the tax cuts. However, only 3 percent of small businesses actually earn enough money to qualify for the minimum income requirements that would be affected by Obama’s new tax plan.
