I run a small business that has done pretty well over the years - we currently employ 5 others. I was about to hire two more people (the workstations are going in as I write this) and offer them the same benefits and wages the others are getting. I will not do so now. I will look for two part-time office support people, trim inventory and scale back my operations. I also advise you, in the event that That One gets into office, if you are not a C Corp., to file immediately. If you have any expansion plans or are doing business that could increase your tax liability, give some careful thought about any exit strategies you might have in place now...if That One gets into office, you will need to look hard at what he will try to take from you.
I will voluntarily scale this company back so I do not have to work until August each year to pay That One’s taxes.
I am close but on a smaller scale. If McCain wins then I will expand. If Obama wins then I will not. I am waiting for election day before I do anything.
Donate & volunteer to McCain-Palin 2008.
I was going to be offered a job at a small business, and they decided not to fill the position until after the economy settles down. My friend works at a small business and it’s closing in December because the owner decided to retire and throw in the towel. These are established businesses 15-20 years old.
