Small Businesses Bash 'Tax Holiday' Plan For Corporate Titans

WASHINGTON -- Debra Ruh runs TecAccess, a small business that works with large companies and the federal government to help make their tech products accessible to people with disabilities. The 11-year-old central Virginia-based operation has always been small -- at its peak before the economic crash, Ruh had 35 employees. Ruh says she always reached out to workers who themselves lived with disabilities. The cause is close to Ruh's heart: Her 24-year-old daughter was born with Down Syndrome. But it's also good business: People with disabilities can tell when a new product does or does not work well.
