How do you support helping Small Businesses then?

Keep taxes low instead. Leave the income tax rates at the Bush level for at least one more year. Lower taxes allow a business owner to funnel his money back into his business. It doesn’t have a dragging effect over time. Loans, by contrast, have conditions and require repayment. They are preferential, while low tax rates are universal. By letting tax rates rise, Obama is taking money from small business owners, which will leave them less able to qualify for or repay loans.
