Why don’t they just reduce taxes on small business?

Or is that too easy?

Because they want you to sign on the dotted line...better known as the strings.

If getting small business going again was the primary goal, that would be the quickest way to get there.

But this administration (and the Democrats in general) don't really like small business. They acknowledge that small businesses create most of the job growth, but that's not where they want the growth to happen.

Small business jobs tend to be non-union jobs. And small business has historically had exemptions to many federal laws and regulations. The Dems don't like any of this. They want people to have union jobs working for big, heavily regulated companies.

So, in spite of all the "happy talk," this administration and the current Democrat Congress aren't any friend of small business. They want to be sure that small business plays by all the same rules that big business must follow. They want unions in every small business, and every small business subjected to every federal regulation.

Look for measures that will stifle small business growth to be presented as ways of "saving small business." And when it doesn't work out for the better, expect the Party Propaganda Ministry (formerly "the media") to tell how as bad as things get under the Democrat plan, they would have been much worse if small business went unregulated.

Look at the Middle Class Task Force for the administration's real plans. They want "green jobs." They want to increase union jobs at large companies that will be regulated into "green projects." The same with their review of government contractors. They want more government employees, and fewer contractors.

How about ending the “secondary credit markets”

We lived without them for centuries.

This is a bailout of derivative holders. I have seen no information credit for consumer spending, like cars, is tight.

Because the debtor is slave to the lender.

Oh this is way better. This provides businesses a way to borrow so they can pay those taxes. Government is happy, lenders make interest and I guess the economy grows.

This is what my business needs - lower taxes, less burdensome government regulation, and tort reform. Also, some kind of mechanism by which small businesses could pool together to buy medical insurance in the same manner big business is able to.
