Democratic presidential contender Hillary Rodham 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.
