Clinton pledges help for small businesses at last stop on Iowa tour

Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton promised on Wednesday to help small businesses, saying U.S. tax rules were skewed in favor of big corporations and made it time consuming and costly for small employers to navigate the tax code.

"I want my campaign to figure out how we’re going to jump-start small businesses," she said at a roundtable with small business owners held at a family-owned fruit distributor in Norwalk, Iowa, just outside Des Moines.

The complex U.S. tax code is often more easily exploited by large multinational corporations, which can take advantage of tax loopholes and find the best tax lawyers and accountants to find them.

"How do we level that playing field?" Clinton asked
, offering no specifics but promising her campaign would be rolling out "a package of recommendations."
