Few tech benefits in Bush tax cuts Our industry supports economic stimulus, however it comes, but one of the cornerstones of the president's plan is the elimination of dividend taxes," said Emily Baker, manager of public policy with Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International, the largest trade group for companies that make tools to produce computer chips. If the tech people had been more diligent all along to work harder with the Republican Congress and the president, they might have gotten more out of this tax-cut proposal," Bartlett said. "There's a feeling that many high-tech folks have been too close to the Democrats. That's the perception, and the tech industry may be paying a bit of a price for this."
