Read the text of the open letter below:

For too long, American businesses of all sizes and hardworking Americans have been struggling under high federal tax rates—which for some small businesses can be as high as 40 percent. This burden is having a crippling effect on their ability to expand and contribute to economic growth.

According to a recent national poll of small business owners, a majority would use the savings from tax cuts to create more jobs, raise wages, and expand into new product fields and locations. This is what drives economic growth and tax cuts are necessary to spur this expansion.

Small business is the backbone of the economy with two-thirds of new jobs being created by small businesses. There are 29 million small businesses in America employing 56 million people— that's 85 million Americans depending on the success of small business. It's time to give them a break.

We urge you to support the Unified Framework for Fixing our Broken Tax Code, which we believe will provide a much-needed economic boost to American businesses and the hardworking employees that make their operations possible.

Let's bring prosperity back to Main Street once again.

Alfredo Ortiz, JCN President and CEO, released the following statement:

The job creators have spoken and it's time to answer their call. By uniting together in support of small business and middle class tax cuts, our political capital increases exponentially and amplifies our voice so Congress hears our message loud and clear. Our lawmakers must put party politics aside and rescue small businesses from the high federal tax rate they have been subject to for years. If accomplished, our nation's small business entrepreneurs—who create two-thirds of all new jobs—can expand and extend the American Dream to so many more people. Tax Cuts is not a partisan issue. It's a win-win policy everyone should get behind. Together, we can strengthen Main Street and the 29 million small businesses that make it up.
