This unwise measure adds further pressure on local small businesses and favors mega corporations. There are other ways to generate revenue outside of continuing to squeeze local businesses.

This tax on businesses (1) increases prices to consumers, (2) taxes the business even when it does not make a profit, (3) will force businesses (especially small businesses) to close, (4) combined with all of Stafford's other taxes, it will encourage taxpayers to move to places with lower taxes.

How about RESPONSIBLE SPENDING?? Taxpaying business should not be burdened with an extra tax because county officials are not budgeting our tax dollars appropriately and are engaging in irresponsible spending.

As a former business owner, I understand firsthand how hard small-business owners work just to keep their businesses successful. That’s one reason I’m particularly concerned about imposing an additional tax based on gross receipts rather than actual profit. A business can have substantial revenue on paper while operating on a very small profit margin.
I believe Stafford County residents and businesses are already carrying a substantial tax burden, and adding another tax on local businesses
