Comments on: Do you think that 0Bama’s economic policies will help OR hurt small business in the United States? http://www.it-rules.com/business-policies/do-you-think-that-0bamas-economic-policies-will-help-or-hurt-small-business-in-the-united-states Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:17:20 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Scooby http://www.it-rules.com/business-policies/do-you-think-that-0bamas-economic-policies-will-help-or-hurt-small-business-in-the-united-states/comment-page-1#comment-3707 Scooby Tue, 09 Feb 2010 01:02:59 +0000 http://www.it-rules.com/business-policies/do-you-think-that-0bamas-economic-policies-will-help-or-hurt-small-business-in-the-united-states#comment-3707 I am a small business owner and this is the first time in all the economic up turns and down turns that my business has been dramatically hit. Since the Democrats and Obama took over the majority vote and started running the government and the economy into the ground my business is now struggling to survive. All I see in the future is higher taxes, hire fees, and being mandated to provide health care or pay a high penalty if I don't. If government would get out of the way and be more friendly to business maybe I could afford to offer health insurance as an incentive to keep better employees or expand and create more jobs. I'm not the only one in this situation. Many small business owners I talk with are also on the edge of failing.<br><b>References : </b><br> I am a small business owner and this is the first time in all the economic up turns and down turns that my business has been dramatically hit.

I’m not the only one in this situation. Many small business owners I talk with are also on the edge of failing.

Let's say 0bama care where to pass the way it was proposed in the House. If a small business does not provide health care now, than they would be penalized under the plan because they don't, so how could that help? The stimulus hasn't stimulated, so how is that good?<br><b>References : </b><br> Hurt, with the proposals of taxing businesses and people with incomes of over $250,000, how can that possibly help a small business?

If the health-care bill is passed, it may reduce the burden on small businesses who are now paying for HC for their employees, as they will be able to defer to this plan at 8% of payroll ( most pay higher rates ) 2. the small businesses who do not cover employees, will suffer as they will now have to, ( this could be why Wal-Mart is in favor of this bill) as these small businesses close Wal-Mart stands to pick up the profit left behind, kind of a "last man standing".<br><b>References : </b><br> This is a good question, and it has a couple of different answers.

His policies are destroying ALL business. What business in the U.S. would be stupid enough to start up or expand with a president at the helm who openly and aggressively vilifies business, profit and prosperity? Yeah, there's a recipe for economic growth. Not. And then, with the unemployment rate at near record levels and in the middle of one of the worst recessions in 50 years, he raises the minimum wage. Brilliant. What a freakin' moron.<br><b>References : </b><br>I run two small businesses. Small business? His policies are destroying ALL business.

I worked for a small business for ten years and saw lots of people laid off. Then it was my turn. For some reason this country hates business owners. The punishing taxes and restrictive paperwork. It's no wonder many businesses have to hire people to handle stuff that has nothing to do with what the company is about. And now we have job losses in the millions. Hey Obama, where's that stimulus money you said you were going to ignore lobbyists with. Oh, wait, never mind, you gave it to ACORN. They're not lobbyists, right?<br><b>References : </b><br> Definitely hurt. I worked for a small business for ten years and saw lots of people laid off.
