End the most ill conceived business tax ever. It would good to know which special interest benefited from this tax.
Small Businesses are being taxed to death, leaving major corporations to survive, while we (Small Busineses) die off.
We need simple and reasonable taxation legislation. Fixes to unreasonable complexity is not a solution.
THis has been a large burden to our small business in Tarrant County since it began.
The state franchise (margin) tax has failed to meet expectations as to cost effectiveness and has been an unnecessary additional burden on independent businesses.
One more needless deadline to make sure an employee does not overlook, or my company be penalized for!
Small business needs this cut badly.

With the steep tax collections by federal and state governments it becomes more and more difficult to realize any profit margin in a small business like my own. It becomes overwhelmingly disappointing.
