The American Family Business Institute
Responds to President Obama’s SBA Announcement

WASHINGTON, D.C. – After President Barack Obama announced that he will elevate the head of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to a cabinet-level position, Dick Patten, President of the American Family Business Institute (AFBI), today issued the following statement:

“Inviting Karen Mills to more White House meetings is not going to address our Nation’s need for fundamental tax reform, less burdensome regulations, or mitigate any of the effects of a job-crushing new health care law and its employer mandate.  Rather than superficially elevate the Small Business Administration chief to a cabinet level position to make headlines, the President should roll up his sleeves like America’s family farmers and business owners have done during these tough economic times and get to work on creating an economic environment that promotes job growth.”

    The American Family Business Institute (AFBI) represents family-business owners throughout America. AFBI was founded in 1994 and was one of the first organizations to call for a permanent repeal of the estate tax.  Today, it is a coalition leader in Washington, D.C. of many organizations fighting to repeal the estate tax and support American family-owned businesses.
