house 02/11/2025 - 119th Congress

We aim to support small business growth by amending the tax code to provide a phased increase in tax exclusions for gains from investments in small businesses. This legislation seeks to encourage investment by reducing the holding period for qualified small business stock, implementing easier conversion terms for debt instruments, and extending certain benefits to S corporations.

Seems fair to support small businesses, but let's watch for loopholes.

Reducing the burden on small business investors is a win for the economy!

A step in the right direction to stimulate growth—government out of the way!

A reasonable step for middle-of-the-road reform, but will it just line the pockets of the already-rich?

This is another tax break disguised as a small business boost; let's help workers, not wealthy investors.

More handouts for the top 1%, less for the middle class—typical!

Finally some common sense in tax policy, encouraging investments in small businesses!

Balancing tax code can support innovation, as long as it targets true small businesses.

left-leaning 02/11/2025

Expanding the exclusion for small business stock just helps big investors hide even more cash.
