    Republican opposition (1.00 / 1) (#3)

    to eliminating the Personal Property Tax makes absolutely no sense. That's why business interests have lined up behind the Democrats plan. When surveyed, many businesses identified the PPT as being as much a problem as the SBT and for some, even worse than the SBT. Eliminating doesn't just benefit manufacturers. It's also benefits companies doing R&D and high-tech services that have a lot of expensive equipment that gets dinged by the PPT. Those are the companies that we want to see grow and those are the companies that the Republicans want to keep sticking with the PPT.

    As for the argument that small companies would pay more to pay for the PPT reduction? Go back and look at who paid the lion's share of the SBT. It wasn't small businesses. Many of them were exempt. So the new legislation spreads the tax burden across a larger number of companies. That's a good thing. Time for some companies to step up and pay their share versus forcing the Big Three and others to shoulder a disproportionate share of the tax burden.
