The Spin

Kamala Harris faces a tough challenge in winning over small- business owners, who currently lean toward supporting another Trump administration. To that extent, her championing of tax breaks directly benefiting small businesses is a bold move. So is her promise to cut red tape. By addressing these concerns, Harris can appeal to small-businessentrepreneurs owners who feel overlooked.

Kamala Harris's promised tax plan for small businesses comes inagainst the backdrop of her other proposal -- to hike corporate tax, which could have significant negative effects on small businesses, too, besides the broader economy. Small businesses that rely on larger corporations could be badly hit. In contrast, Trump's proposed tax relief could boost earnings, making Harris's plan appear detrimental.
