re: #43 reuven

Obama has taken away a few of my freedoms as a small businessman. I was very disappointed in the health care reform bill, especially the LACK of a public option. Without a public option, it severely overburdens small business with new regulations. (Most small businesses actually welcomed the public option, and some single-payer high-risk pool. This way we’d only have to provide insurance or self-insurance for the gap…) I have to spend thousands a year on tax attorneys and accountants because of the complexity of it all.

(See [Link: www.s-corp.org…] )

And H.R. 4213, which has Obama’s support, would also take away a significant number of my freedoms ( [Link: www.opencongress.org…] ) while at the same time shoveling more money at deadbeats. He wants to restrict business with 3 or fewer employees from certain protections offered other businesses.

HOWEVER, despite the fact that the Tea Party claims its origins are in opposition to excessive taxation, spending, and regulation, they’d rather get into arguments with the NAACP about their name, than address problems facing small business. So I, personally, have nothing to do with them.

“Deadbeats”? Mmkay.

You mean, like, spoiled unemployed people?

In any case, I can hardly fail not to weep for “small businessmen” who think being “small” means you can treat your employees like disposable, interchangeable parts for your machine.

Just sayin’.
