This President and the “leaders” in Congress just don't understand how capitalism works. The President says, 9 months into his term, that "small business will lead us out of this recession". Wow! Really! I would've never guessed! As a small business owner, I personally believe higher taxes to fund government health care, and huge increases in utility bills, for “Cap and Tax” are all I need to motivate me to grow my business. After all, I'm still paying my bills. Of course, I've reduced my workforce, cut expenses to the bone, cut my salary and increased my workload to 80+ hours per week, but hey, I am willing to sacrifice even more for Barack, Nancy and Harry's grand plans....no...not really. What have the President and Congress done to give me the incentive to expand or re-hire? Were's the reward for risk? 'Cause that's what it is you know...risk. Just a couple more taxes and a larger utility bill and the bank, and later you, the taxpayer, can have this business! Oh, and by the way...you can have my house, cars, cards, equipment, and everything else too, it simply is not worth the time and stress. Sincerely, A small business owner
