Are you a small business owner? If so you have felt the economic slump directly and if you company structure is an LLC or a sole proprietorship then you have felt it directly in your wallet. Unfortunately the current politicians and government officials in office are completely out of touch with the small business owner and everyday working Americans. I am referring to both political parties as they are both passing legislation that is hurting the average American.
No matter which political ideology you support, the fact is more government control hurts the small business owner. The entire purpose of the government is to aid the people in areas that an individual can not help themselves. This includes military, schools, roads, and regulations to avoid monopolistic companies. The governments purpose in no way is to control a persons retirement or run our health care system. This creates an overwhelming amount of government control that hinders business development and entrepreneurship by raising taxes and redistributing wealth. Anyone who has run a company or studied business knows that micromanaging and completly controlling the way a company functions is the quickest way to destroy a company. The same things applies to the government.
Why I am addressing this topic? Because small business owners need to take a stand against where our government is going. If you don't care about politics now is the time to start. The road we have been going down for the past 20 years or so is very scary and has already begun to take a huge toll on small business. All of the current legislation that is being passed will hurt the small business owner despite what the government claims will happen with the deficit. Do your research and start voting out most the current politicians that are currently serving and are in no way standing up for our best interest!
