Here is how Hillary Clinton hopes to be the 'small business president'

Hillary Clinton wants to be the "small business president" and according to her campaign the former secretary of state is looking to "build off of some of the good foundation that President Obama has laid out."

Rhett Buttle, Director of Small Business Outreach for the Clinton campaign who also previously worked for the Obama administration, says the president has "done a ton in eight years," however, there is one issue in particular that he hopes Clinton will be able address as president.

Buttle says that while Obama "fought really hard in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act to get a small business healthcare tax credit," the administration did receive "some feedback that we should simplify that tax credit." Buttle says this issue is one that Clinton hopes to address, saying "one of the things we see in Hillary's plan is the simplification of that tax credit."

Senior Policy Advisor Jacob Leibenluft also talked with AOL about the campaign's goal to push toward simplifying the tax code to help free up small businesses. Leibenluft says a new standard deduction recently announced by the campaign will be a major help in the right direction.

"Right now if you're a small business you have to file for different deductions for all your different overhead costs." Leibenluft says Clinton's proposed standard deduction would "create a single deduction that would cover all those coast, really reducing some of the record keeping burden that we see for small businesses."

Regarding the hotly debated raising of the federal minimum wage, Leibenluft says the Democratic nominee is still a "strong supporter of the $12 minimum wage and also a strong advocate for the fight for 15." Leibenluft says small business owners understand that "when you pay your workers more there actually can be benefits to the business in addition to the workers."

While there is evidence that suggests a minimum wage increase may not negatively impact businesses, many small businesses have expressed concerns around the negative impacts a wage increase could have"

The senior policy adviser says raising the minimum wage will lead to "higher morale, higher productivity because workers are happy to be at work, lower turnover." "That's why we see more and more small business owners supportive of a minimum wage increase."

As far as comparing Clinton's small business strategy to that of her opponent Donald Trump's, the campaign says the Republican nominee has yet to provide "real concrete solutions that benefit that benefit small businesses."

Ultimately, Leibenluft says Trump is disguising tax cuts that will "only benefit him" as his small business policies.

"Repealing the estate tax, that's a 4 billion benefit for just Donald Trump's family, if he is worth what he says he is." "He'll pitch that as something that benefits small businesses, but if you look at the numbers, only 2 percent of American families are impacted by the estate tax."
