Fortunately, the latest round of tax cuts encouraged our business owners and community members to take that risk. With more take-home pay and less red tape, starting that dream business or expanding an existing company became a real possibility – not just wishful thinking. Colorado even boasted the fourth-most start-up activity in the country this year.
That could all change if these tax cuts are left to expire – which is a real possibility. Luckily, it looks like extending these tax cuts will be the first issue on Congress’ agenda after their summer recess. For the future of our economy, let’s hope they make the right decision.
