Rep. Culberson Pushes GOP's False Small Business Talking Point
Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) appeared on MSNBC's Hardball to spread the GOP's false talking points on the Bush tax cuts. Responding to a question from guest host Michael Smerconish, Culberson claimed that the top two percent of earners, who would be affected by the expiration of the tax breaks for the top two tax brackets, consist "primarily" of "small business owners." In fact, "exceedingly few" small businesses fall into this category. In order to make their talking point stick, the GOP has had to expand their definition of "small business" to include very large corporations organized as "pass-through" entities as well as a number of non-employer tax filers like authors and athletes.
