Main Street Small Business & Tax Fairness Act
Help for Main Street, not Wall Street. This law gives tax credits to small businesses, farms, and ranches. It helps working families in high-cost rural areas. It closes tax loopholes that only help the ultra-wealthy and big multinational companies. The money saved pays down our national debt and protects Social Security and Medicare.
