Economy
- Business Expansion, Not Contraction:
In the past three years, many Illinois
residents
have passed bills that have raised taxes on
businesses forcing them to relocate to other
states. This has created havoc in the
state's economy. Some of these taxes
were called licensing and fees. The
District can be vital in reversing this
downward effect and US programs can help in
making this work favorably for the people in
the State.
- Small Businesses: Small firms
have thrived throughout the district since the
1980’s. Today, more than ever before, small
firms are owned and run by minorities and
women. Minority-owned businesses contributed
to
4.5 million jobs and $591 billion in revenue
to the United States in 1997. Also, 1.2
million businesses are owned by Hispanics.
As an owner of a small business, Michael B.
Younan knows the trials and tribulations of
staying profitable. This is why he will
always work to ensure that there is help for
small-business owners like himself.
- Call for Action: Please support
our cause! "Vote! It's the only way to
make a difference."
