Small Business and Current Election

Small Businesses are the foundation of our economy. Or are we?

Fed bailed out the largest insurer in the United State and reason given is that their size and amount they have insured will impact the economy and many insured. Eighty Five Billion dollars, I had to say this to myself several time. Eighty Five Billion dollars and we as small businesses have to go through loops to get 10,000.00 credit.

Do you realize what this means, we as small business will have to pay for all the money given to these large organization from our taxes. We are being tax higher and higher. We do not have a voice in the government.

Every elections we are told that we are the back bone of this country and we are told to donate individually and to help campaign individually. We are the people paying $500 or more to their campaign, we are the ones placing their signs in our properties. After all said and over, they will be having lunch with the big boys and if they need more money to subsides large organization, they will tap into small business owner, and workers of the small business workers.

    We have been taken by large organizations. we sign and perform work. They will breach the contract and because they have in house lawyer and we do not, we lose. I am sick of giving them more money and when they are in trouble they will get government help.

      Anyway they can weasel out their responsiblities, throw it into court, and attempt not to pay. They have lawyers on the payroll, why not try and dodge payment?

      Stop giving your money to businesses that think they deserve a bailout when they mismanage and underperform. What a waste of $700 million.

    $700 billion bailout for mismanaged businesses - how long will it take for taxpayers to pay it off? All on the promise that if things work out, we'll get our money back at some point? Does anyone really think the money will be used right?

    What did you think would happen? The politicians have their hands out for a contribution, so they voted one back to them. And we get stuck with the bill. Again.
